...pitting Max against Scrotus in some capacity, since he was left alive as of Furiosa's ending, but we know he wasn't around in Fury Road. Adding fuel to this speculation is the fact that Scrotus did appear in the 2015 Mad Max video game, which cribbed a lot of elements from Miller's notes/scripts from Fury Road/Furiosa/The Wasteland. I haven't played the game in full, but at this point I bet there's a lot of little nuggets of information present in there that must have been plucked directly from what Miller had on page for The Wasteland and will be seen in the film if/when it gets made.
The Mad Max game is fantastic, and if a movie is made with a similar storyline I would definitely be seeing it
Miller was involved, up to a certain point, on the creation of a game with Cory Barlog. That project was eventually plucked from him and Barlog, and it morphed into what Avalanche made and released, sans Miller's involvement but with all of Miller and co.'s notes/scripts/resources made available to them (hence the overlaps between that game and the two recent films). Miller himself doesn't really see it as "canon" to his own works due to the messy situation surrounding it, which I totally understand, but it does strike me as a pretty invaluable resource from an outside perspective, just in terms of seeing how much of what Miller is doing now was already locked in place. We know the
Furiosa script is more or less as old as
Fury Road's, for example.
Ignore the clickbait phrasing on this Tweet (he's not actually seeking out Kojima to make a game based on the property, he just states that if one ever happens again he'd like it to come from someone like Kojima), but he acknowledged the situation surrounding the game pretty recently, at one of the
Furiosa events:

Furiosa out.
