Candyman, Matrix Resurrection and “Watchman” star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, pictured below, is no longer appearing in Warner Bros and George Miller’s Furiosa, the spinoff to Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, due to scheduling conflicts, reports Deadline.
The site says Tom Burke (Only God Forgives) will be replacing him alongside Anya Taylor-Joy, who will star in the title role along with Chris Hemsworth.
“The stand-alone movie, which will reveal the origins of Furiosa, has Miller directing, co-writing and producing with his longtime Oscar-nominated producing partner Doug Mitchell. Miller’s own Australian-based Kennedy Miller Mitchell banner will produce.
“Mad Max: Fury Road made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015 and grossed $375.2 million at the global box office. The film also won six Oscars and earned Miller a directing nomination as well as a Best Picture Oscar nomination.”
