Anya Taylor-Joy Wears an Olive Green Blazer Minidress to ‘Furiosa’ Photocall in London

The movie stars Taylor-Joy across from Chris Hemsworth, and the event was attended by his brothers Liam and Luke, as well as Liam’s girlfriend, model Gabriella Brooks. The couple were very affectionate on the red carpet.

The actress plays the character Furiosa, who was played by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road; this story takes place 15 to 20 years before the events of that film. Furiosa faces off against a warlord leader named Dementus, played by Hemsworth.

In a recent interview on The One Show, the actors revealed that a specific fight scene took 78 days to film, which is about what most full-length Hollywood films take in their entirety.

“We shot it for 78 days, 78 days!” the star said. “Yes. It’s called Stowaway. It was 100 per cent the mountain we were all trying to climb.”

Her character has few lines in the script even though she is the titular star. Taylor-Joy commented on how that influenced her performance.

“You know what’s crazy is I was never concerned about the lack of dialogue as you said, it made a lot of sense for the character so I was like ‘Yeah yeah I’ve got this,’” she explained. “But George [Miller] also had a very strict idea of how he wanted me to hold my face for a large portion of the film so when you say I only had my eyes it was really just this.”

She added, “I do think there’s an element where like it intensified the situation because I’m sure she wants to talk about what’s going on in her life but she’s just surviving. So yeah I think it gave it that fire.”
