While speaking about his character Warlord Dementus, Chris Hemsworth said:
“He’s a complicated individual. He’s a very violent, insane, brutal person who is born in the Wasteland, which is the world the ‘Mad Max’ saga takes place. He’s a product of his environment, he has been birthed into a space where it’s kill or be killed. He’s learned to rule with an iron fist. There’s a charisma to him and he’s a very manipulative charisma,” per Variety.
This prequel is the fifth entry in Miller’s Mad Max franchise. According to the film’s official plot description, the movie finds Furiosa being snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falling into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus.

Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by the Immortan Joe, the character played by the late Hugh Keays-Byrne in Fury Road. While the two tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.

Furiosa is the movie that the Marvel Actor is ‘most proud of’ By Far

While speaking with GQ, Marvel actor Chris Hemsworth earlier, admitted that starring as the story’s main antagonist opposite Anya Taylor-Joy‘s Furiosa in the Mad Max project is the project he is most proud of till date.
“[Furiosa is] by far the best experience of my career, and something I feel the most proud of. It made me think, the work isn’t what’s exhausting, it’s what kind of work it is, and how invested I am in it and if it is challenging in the right ways.”

“It’s massive and otherworldly and everything you’d expect from the Mad Max world. [Miller] has managed to do something unexpected, which has blown me away. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do,” Hemsworth continued.
Also, he said that he now looks for more George Millers or more of George Miller, though he is best known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
