Did you know this actress from Furiosa? He had another role in Fury Road!

This is a custom with George Miller: some of his actors are entrusted with different roles in the post-apocalyptic wasteland world, from Mad Max to Furiosa.

If we go back to the beginning of the saga, we remember that Bruce Spence (a multi-franchise actor who also excelled in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Narnia and Pirates of the Caribbean!) was a cheeky and friendly actor. A gyrocopter captain helping out Mel Gibson in Mad Max 2 (1981)… before playing aviator Jedediah (still cocky) and stealing a road warrior’s car and camels in Mad Max Beyond the Dome of the Thunder (1985)!

In 2015’s Fury Road, the Australian director revealed the franchise’s new iconic villain: Immortal Joe, the undisputed master of the Citadel. Under the Lord of War respirator and jagged mask, we find Hugh Case-Byrne (disappeared in 2020), the actor who already played the role of the leader of the ultra-violent “Millerians”, this time on two wheels: Mad Max (1979), he was Tokater, the sadistic leader of a biker gang that terrorizes the area and ends up killing Max’s wife and children.

In FuriosaColossus Nathan Jones (Rictus Erectus, youngest son of the immortal Joe), John Howard (Man-Eater, master of Petroville) and Angus Sampson (artisan surgeon “The Organic Mechanic”) reprise the roles they played in the early nine years later. Dangerous road. On the other hand, Josh Helman, who played War-Boy Slit in 2015, covered in white makeup, is certainly back. FuriosaBut in a completely different role: here he plays Scrutus, the third descendant of the immortal Joe, who is not in Fury Road (But featured in video games and comics).

A reunion between a director and an actor he admires? For fans who like to find easter eggs (like us)? Or perhaps a veiled reference to the organization of the citadel: we can imagine that in the desert world imagined by George Miller, the boys of war – who are essentially healed and among the abused – sometimes include among their ranks the offspring of the immortals. Joe and his sons? This would explain the similarities between Scrotus and Slith… by the same actor, respectively.
