These Furiosa Characters Are Secretly Played By The Same Actor
By JEREMY MATHAI
Many of the same "Mad Max" cast members take on different roles for the various sequels, but actress Elsa Pataky has taken on this mantle in "Furiosa" with an intriguing twist.
Best known for her role in the "Fast & Furious" movies, Pataky’s dual roles in "Furiosa" see her as both a Vuvalini general and an utterly unrecognizable member of Dementus' crew.
More distinctly, Pataky plays an important ally to Furiosa's mother, Mary Jabassa, and later, as Mr. Norton, one of the heavily scarred rivals press-ganged into Dementus' crew.
Her Vuvalini general is the first to try to save young Furiosa from Dementus' marauding henchmen. She then appears as Mr. Norton after Furiosa has been taken from the Green Place.
As one of the gang members forced to turn on their own for a spot in Dementus' gang, Pataky's unscrupulous biker wins and helps execute her former friend to earn Dementus' trust.
It's a darkly hilarious turn of events considering Pataky’s marriage to Chris Hemsworth, and how their relationship could have led to her playing both characters here.
