George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road was one of the biggest movies to come out of 2015. The film won awards left and right, and sequels were planning to be made—save for one legal snag that Miller had with WB. The good news is, it looks like everything is getting settled, and the sequels are finally going to happen.
Talking to IndieWire, Miller was asked about the Fury Road sequels in the works, to which he replies, "There are two stories, both involving Mad Max, and also a Furiosa story. We're still solving, we've got to play out the Warners thing, it seems to be pretty clear that it's going to happen."
As for how the issue with WB was solved, Miller didn't go into specific details, but he did say:
"It all started because of the chaos at Warner Bros. and not Kevin Tsujihara, it was pre all that. He wasn't the antagonist, because a lot of people didn't know what was going on and were not prepared to make a definitive stand; everybody was running around fearful, it seems, through three regimes. It was hard to get anyone's attention, so we went to litigation. The chaos has stabilized and it's become extremely positive as the dust seems to have settled after [the AT&T merger]."
For now, we don't really know what status the Mad Max films are in, but at least we know that the franchise is pushing forward. Fury Road had spawned comics and even a decent video game, so it's great that we're going to continue visiting the Wasteland with actual films.
No release dates have been set for the next Mad Max movies, but hopefully we can get a solid update before 2019 ends.
