Thank God Miller saw those two films before committing to a horribly distracting de-aged Charlize Theron!
"Furiosa" is a prequel film, which meant that Theron, who is now 48 years old, would be required to play her character as two decades younger. Initially, Miller thought about still using Theron and employing technology to de-age her, but two films made him change his mind. "I thought, 'Okay, we could still do it with Charlize.' Then I saw these other movies like 'The Irishman,' where they made people younger, and particularly I saw 'Gemini Man.' I was looking at the technology; I wasn't looking at performance. I thought, 'We can't do it.'"
