Thursday 4 August 2022 03:13 AM Mad Max Furiosa: Anya Taylor-Joy sports messy brown hair and a CGI glove as she ... trends now
Hollywood darling Anya Taylor-Joy has been spotted for the first time on the set of George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, Furiosa.
Dressed as her character, Furiosa, the 26-year-old American actress looked worlds away from her usually polished, stylish self while filming in front of a green screen in Sydney's South on Wednesday.
Swapping her trademark platinum locks for a messy, matted brown hair-do, the star was almost unrecognisable on set.

Mad Max Furiosa tells the origin story of a young Imperator Furiosa, a war captain who betrays her leader, the villainous Immortan Joe
The character was originally portrayed by Charlize Theron in the 2015 blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road.
Before filming, Theron volunteered to shave her head to get into character, although it's not known whether Anya will follow suit for her appearance.

Anya has enjoyed a stratospheric rise to fame in recent years thanks to her role in Netflix drama The Queens Gambit as well as films Emma and The Northman, in which she stars alongside Alexander Skarsgård and Nicole Kidman.
Meanwhile, there was plenty of other action going on around the sprawling film set on Wednesday.
Hoards of extras, presumably playing slaves, were seen milling about in dusty, tattered outfits.
