Back in 2015, when Theron was promoting the film, she had stated that she wouldn't have Furiosa in any other way. The actor needed to shave her head for the role as she had extensive filming schedules in the desert. The post-apocalyptic film Mad Max: Fury Road was a raging hit when it had released back in 2015, earning $374 million against a reported budget of $150 million. The use of practical effect instead of CGI in the film has made it stand apart from the rest, allowing the film to gain a cult status through the years.
