Was the Green Place a thing in Fury Road?

LOL tell me they didn't give Hemsworth a red cape.
Tom Burke
I don’t think Tom Burke is young Immortan Joe unless Yahya Abdull Mateen II was also playing Immortan Joe.
Leave it to filmmaker George Miller to constantly surprise us with some life-changing decision. This time, the Australian director revealed he’s specifically changing (once again) the life of Quaden Bayles, a young boy who went viral for a devastating reason: back in 2020, the child was pushed to his limit after suffering constant bullying at his school, and broke down in tears as his mother filmed him while begging for help. The episode moved Australians to demand a better school environment for its kids, and several celebrities reached out to Quaden, including Miller.
Quaden, who was born with achondroplasia (the most common form of dwarfism), received an invitation from Miller to appear in Three Thousand Years of Longing, a drama with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton which premieres this Friday. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, however, the director revealed that the dream is only beginning. He thought Quayden was so good on camera that they’ll work together again: the 11-year boy landed a small role in the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, Furiosa. “It was good for us and it was good for him,” the director stated.
"When we wrote Mad Max, the task was to tell a story that was always on the run and to see how much the audience could pick up in passing. That was one of the tricks of Mad Max: Fury Road, that there would be references to things of where she’s from, why they’re doing things, but it was always on the run. There were very few moments of quiet. We never explained how she lost her arm. We never explain what the actual Green Place Of Many Mothers was.
"We never explained the workings of the Citadel. So we had the screenplay virtually complete before we shot Fury Road, and we did it because it arose out of wanting to explain to everybody who Furiosa was—to Charlize when she took on the role, and to all the actors and the designers and everybody else working on the Citadel and so on. The feeling was, gee, this is a pretty good screenplay, and then I kept saying to myself, 'if Fury Road works, I’d really like to tell this story.'
