Anya Taylor-Joy's role in Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho played a big part in her being cast as Furiosa in George Miller's upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road prequel.

In an interview with Empire for a special "Celebration of Edgar Wright" issue, George Miller revealed fellow filmmaker Edgar Wright screened him an early cut of Last Night in Soho, starring Anya Taylor-Joy as Sandy, a dazzling wannabe singer. Impressed by her acting talents, Miller quickly realized she could play a younger version of Charlize Theron's Furiosa.
