In a specially crafted promotional video tailored for the Chinese audience, actress Anya Taylor-Joy and actor Chris Hemsworth extended warm greetings in celebration of the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival on Monday. Hemsworth also offered words of encouragement to Chinese students gearing up for the gaokao, the national college entrance examinations taking place on Friday and Saturday.
Directed and scripted by the Oscar-winning Australian filmmaker George Miller, the sci-fi epic chronicles the odyssey of a young woman's evolution from a serene oasis dweller to a formidable warrior navigating the unforgiving deserts of futuristic Australia.
