  I don’t want to see more money grabs when a movie does well.

  I agree, but that’s not the case here - Miller wrote Fury Road, Furiosa and The Wasteland (a prequel featuring Mad Max) at the same time, so everyone would have the back stories leading up to Fury Road. Theron wanted to make Furiosa first and she was probably right to do so - Fury Road feels like it should have been the big spectacular finish to a trilogy that you build up to.

  I feel like most people think that too, yet the studios keep insisting.

  I love marvel and Star wars. Doesn’t mean that’s the only thing I want to watch. Hire more writers and make what they suggest ffs
