In October 2015, Miller's team had two scripts for sequels which they ended up with during the writing process. Later that month, he clarified that "Mad Max: The Wasteland" was a working title for the sequel.

Miller cited director Akira Kurosawa as an inspiration for what he wanted to do with the franchise. Miller was also developing an action-adventure tie-in video game based on the fourth film, along with "God of War II" video game designer Cory Barlog.

Writing for "The Guardian" and awarding the film four stars out of five, Peter Bradshaw wrote, "Extravagantly deranged, ear-splittingly cacophonous, and entirely over the top, George Miller has revived his "Mad Max" punk-western franchise as a bizarre convoy chase action-thriller in the post-apocalyptic desert." Lindsay Bahr of The Associated Press wrote, "Miller has reminded us that blockbusters have the potential to not only be art, but radically visionary – even the fourth in a series.

"Fury Road" was in development hell for many years, with pre-production starting as early as 1997. Attempts to shoot the film in 2001 and 2003 were delayed due to the September 11 attacks and the Iraq War. In 2007, after focusing on "Happy Feet", Miller decided to pursue it again. He briefly considered producing it as a computer-animated film but abandoned it in favour of live-action. In 2009, Miller announced

After Barlog announced in 2008 that a publisher for the game was being sought, no further information about the project was forthcoming. In 2010, Barlog was a consultant for Avalanche Studios, leaving in 2012 for Crystal Dynamics. A "Fury Road" tie-in video game was in development by Interplay Entertainment, but was scrapped when Electronic Arts acquired the franchise's video-game rights for $20 million.

The idea for a fourth occurred to Miller in August 1998 when he was walking in an intersection in Los Angeles. About a year later, while travelling from Los Angeles to Australia, the idea coalesced. Miller conceived a story where "violent marauders were fighting, not for oil or for material goods, but for human beings." The film was set to shoot in 2001 through 20th Century Fox, but was postponed because of the September 11 attacks that same year.

"The American dollar collapsed against the Australian dollar, and our budget ballooned", Miller said, adding that he "had to move on to "Happy Feet" because there was a small window when that was ready". Mel Gibson, who starred in the original three previous films, would not return to his role as the lead character. Miller ended up re-casting the role because of controversies surrounding Gibson and because he wanted Max to remain at a younger age, as the "same contemporary warrior".
