Warning: SPOILERS for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga are in play. If you haven’t taken this most recent trip into the apocalypse yet, you’ve been warned. Sometimes a teddy bear is just a teddy bear, and sometimes, like in the case of co-writer/director George Miller ’s 2024 movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga , that stuffie on the belt of Chris Hemsworth’s Warlord Dementus actually means something.
In a stark contrast to what we know about this Fury Road prequel , the answers behind this question aren’t as readily given. It all rests on knowledge that Hemsworth shared that was handed down to him by his director, and it's easily summed up in three simple words: “Nothing is accidental.” As CinemaBlend’s own Sean O’Connell attended the recent press day for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga , he asked Mr.
Hemsworth outright about what sort of setup went into giving the bear its lore. This, in turn, led to a revelation that has me going down a bit of a rabbit hole when it comes to the story of both Furiosa ( Anya Taylor-Joy ) and the Mad Max saga itself. For starters, here’s what Chris Hemsworth told CinemaBlend about how he and George Miller’s pieced together what this children’s toy meant: This was George's thing.
His mantra was ‘Found objects, repurposed.’ So everything in the Wastelands, everything you see had a previous duty or purpose, and now is being reused in some other way, and fashioned into something else. And the teddy bear was there, and was part of the costume.
