Taylor-Joy, best known until now for hit TV series, The Queen’s Gambit, commented with a heart emoji and the words: “My loveeeee”.

Directed by George Miller, Mad Max Furiosa is currently shooting in NSW with locations in Broken Hill, Hay and Sydney.

Taylor-Joy is to star as the title character with Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Nathan Jones, Lachy Hulme, David Collins and Angus Sampson also on board.

“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the War lord Dementus,” a press statement released by Warner Bros Pictures read.

“Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe.

While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”

American Wright meanwhile also previously body doubled for Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Birds of Prey and Laura Vandervoort in the Supergirl TV series.
