According to Hemsworth, getting to play the bad guy was more than just a much-needed change of pace.
Hemsworth also credits his Furiosa co-star, Anya Taylor-Joy, for helping him acclimate to the film.
“I felt quite intimidated by the whole experience,” explained Hemsworth.
“What we were a part of was both exciting and also scary.
I had a lot of questions and a real need to sort of dissect everything.
Meeting Anya, I immediately saw the same enthusiasm.
It was just a constant discussion.
Everything Anya did helped inform everything I was wanting to do.
The two characters–although as abrasive and polar opposites as they were–kind of complemented the journey.
I didnt realize that when I first read the script.”
Within the world of the film, Dementus is the man who stole Furiosa away from her family.
And her journey of personal vengeance will play out in the film.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will hit theaters on May 24.
