“This one was hard to digest. Listen, I totally respect George and even more after making the movie with him. He’s a master and I wish him nothing less than the best. bit heartbreaking for sure. I was devastated. I really love this character and am so grateful that I played a small part in her creation. She will always be someone I think about and who I think about with affection. Obviously I would like to see this story continue and if he thinks this is the way he needs to go I trust him in that regard. We are so concerned with the little details that we forget that it is what we are emotionally involved in has nothing to do with the job we are focusing on. ”
In an interview with the New York Times, Miller revealed that the original idea was to bring Theron back into the role of the Furious using facial rejuvenation technology, but ultimately decided to launch a new actress.
