Do you know Elsa Pataky from Furiosa? Chris Hemsworth’s partner plays two roles in Mad Max!

Elsa Pataky in the desert. The Spanish actress, Chris Hemsworth’s companion in the city since 2010, was invited by George Miller to join the world of Mad Max in the desert in the prequel Furiosa. Thus, she added a new Fast and Furious blockbuster to her filmography after she played Elena Neves opposite Vin Diesel in the Fast & Furious saga.

She also signed a new collaboration with the father of her three children, after Horse Soldiers, Thor: Love and Thunder (in which she appeared in a werewolf make-up opposite the superhero) and the Netflix action film Interceptor. which he in turn made a cameo as improbable as Hairy). Not forgetting Marvel’s Kiss, in which he played Natalie Portman’s secret double!

In FuriosaSince then, the cooperation has been twofold Elsa Patak Plays two very different characters, both badass (exercise Catcher had to help): In the film’s prologue, he plays a Vuvalin warrior left to protect the Green Earth while Furiosa’s mother travels to the Dunes to hunt down her daughter’s predators; Later, under a tailored suit and terrible makeup, he plays one of the lieutenants of the warrior Dementus (Chris Hemsworth, who reveals a fresh new face in the film).

Chris Hemsworth’s dad also stars in Furiosa!

And he is not the only member of the family invited in the film! According to producer Doug Mitchell, who we spoke to outside the screening Furiosa In Cannes, his own father Chris Hemsworth Appears twice in the film. A fitting return for this mech fan, who was part of a biker gang, some of whose members featured prominently in the very first Mad Max in 1979, though didn’t appear in the film itself.

And the torch might be passed on to the next installment in the franchise, via the kids Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Patak. “Both twin boys can jump on a motorcycle, I kid you not”A loyal employee of George Miller* tells us. “Chris showed me some footage and he said, ‘They’re going to be in the next Mad Max at 14. Now they’re 12, but they can ride a bike.”. A new generation of Wasteland is on its way!
