Another prequel?

“We also wrote, not a script, but almost in novel form, Nico Lathouris and I, what happened to Max the year before, and that’s something we’ll get to later on. telling the story of Furiosa, everything had to be explained in Fury Road In my mind I have a back story of the Doof Warrior, who plays guitar How a blind man who all he knows how to do is play guitar, how can he survive in a desert where everyone is in extremis? How did he get there? So we wrote little stories for each character when we created Fury Road.
Here is the synopsis of the next film of the madmax franchise, Furiosa:
As the world crumbles, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a large horde of bikers led by the warlord Dementus.
