Chris Hemsworth shows off his unique motorcycle in a new image from Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. He’s known for playing good guys like Thor, but Hemsworth is ready to show a different side of himself in George Miller’s upcoming post-apocalyptic prequel. Trailers have already given audiences a glimpse of Hemsworth’s Furiosa character, a bearded, marauding desert warrior with the ridiculous name Warlord Dementus.
With the Furiosa release date fast approaching, Hemsworth has shared another look at his strange Mad Max universe character, one that also features Warlord Dementus’ truly crazy-looking motorcycle. Check out the image below:
The Mad Max movies are known for their incredibly unique vehicle designs, and Hemsworth’s image proves again that Furiosa will keep alive this tradition of characters sporting insane post-apocalyptic rides.
Hemsworth’s Warlord Dementus Explained
The bearded Dementus looks like a post-apocalyptic Viking warrior, someone who might have battled Hemsworth’s Thor in a nightmare. Dementus is in fact the leader of a gang known as the Biker Horde, who roam the wastelands unleashing mayhem in classic Mad Max fashion.
There is no mention of Dementus in any previous Mad Max movie, so the character’s backstory comes entirely via a non-canon 2015 video game, where he’s mentioned as a rival to Immortan Joe’s son Scabrous Scrotus. It’s said that Scrotus defeated Dementus during a war, resulting in Scrotus becoming the leader of Gas Town, a settlement that is indeed mentioned in Fury Road.
Hemsworth himself has given only vague hints about Dementus. During a Q&A with Collider last year, the star called his Furiosa character “complicated, violent and brutal.” The preview of Dementus offered by trailers shows a character similar to The Road Warrior’s Lord Humungus, who also led a marauding gang, and showed his dramatic flair by taunting his would-be victims using a loudspeaker. Now, thanks to Hemsworth, audiences have gotten a look at Dementus’ motorcycle, filling in one more blank space in his character profile ahead of the release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
