In 2011, Miller and McCarthy found during the writing process for Fury Road that they had enough story material for two additional scripts. One of these, entitled Mad Max: Furiosa, had already been completed, and Miller hoped to film it after the release of Fury Road. In March 2015, during an interview with Esquire magazine, Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in four more Mad Max films following Fury Road. In May 2015, Miller told Wired magazine, "Should [Mad Max: Fury Road] be successful, I've got two other stories to tell." Later in May, Miller revealed that plans for the sequel had changed and the working title for the next installment will be Mad Max: The Wasteland. It was also announced by Nerdist that the sequels will be prequels and actor Hugh Keays-Byrne will return as Immortan Joe.
