The 60-year-old designer has high hopes for two new characters in the saga.

Charlee Fraser plays the role of Mary, the mother of Furiosa, in the movie and Tom Burke plays the role of Praetorian Jack. However, Kojima can only see Burke as a Snake. Even Burke himself exchanged a few words with Kojima at a party and revealed that the crew of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga pictured him as Snake on the first day of the shooting itself.
Is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Worth a Watch?
Directed by Australian filmmaker George Miller, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is an action-adventure movie that hit theaters on May 23, 2024. The film has an ensemble cast and follows the backstory of the titular character in a post-apocalyptic world.
Fans are delighted to see Fraser and Burke in the movie. Burke’s impact has really surprised the fans. Not to mention, the fact that Fraser is absolutely relentless in the movie has won everyone’s heart. Here is what some of them had to say:
I loved Chris playing a villain again, he has a lot of range he normally doesn't get to show. Tom Burke's character I didn't expect to make such an impact since I didn't expect him to last 5 minutes at first. Charlee Fraser was relentless

Not only the love of the audience, the movie has also received critical appreciation on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have praised the wise casting, incredible action scenes, and production values. Further, critics have also glorified Miller’s command over vehicle chase scenes in the movie.
Despite all the rave reviews and enthusiastic responses from the viewers, the movie seems to be lagging at the box office. Variety recently reported that the movie has opened with a disappointing collection of $10.2 million. Hopefully, it will recover from this slow start and perform better for the rest of its run.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is in theaters.
