10 Incredible Sci-Fi Movie Universes We Need More Of
5. Mad Max
The Mad Max universe is the weird and wonderful concoction of George Miller’s imagination; conjuring up deadly boomerangs, spiked vehicles and iconic sawed-off shotguns. While the world of Mad Max always had potential, it was fully realised in the manically excellent Fury Road. Yet being described as just one story in the mythic character’s life, left room for an anthology-styled franchise reaching the furthest edges of the sun-scorched desserts.
While a sequel to Fury Road is up in the air at this point, the appeal to rev back into the mania of Max’s life is undeniably strong. Having a glimpse at the culture of Immortan Joe and the War Boys, other mad sects in this post-apocalypse would make excellent antagonistic forces in a further exploration of the world.
Even a story, such as the rumoured spin-off following fan-favourite Furiousa would be welcome. In a world of fiery tornadoes, disfigured deities, and doof warriors, who wouldn’t want to go back? Oh, what a lovely day it would be indeed.
