Yes, that is Elsa Pataky in two separate roles in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”

The Spanish actress plays polar opposite characters alongside husband Chris Hemsworth in the "Fury Road" prequel.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you: Spanish actress Elsa Pataky plays surprise double duty as two completely opposite characters in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

The first time we see the Fast and Furious franchise star, she plays Vuvalini General, who helps Furiosa's mother, Mary Jabassa (Anyone But You's Charlee Fraser), go after her young daughter (played first by Alyla Browne in the film and later by Anya Taylor-Joy) when she is violently kidnapped from the Green Place of Many Mothers.

That character was capable and heroic, but the next time we see Pataky, she's playing Mr. Norton, who is anything but. A member of the evil biker gang led by the warlord Dementus (played by Pataky's real-life husband, Chris Hemsworth), Norton is covered in scars and looks nothing like the General or Pataky. She's featured most prominently in the scene in which Dementus instructs his gang to quarter a man in front of a young Furiosa, who looks on in disgust from her cage. See images of both of Pataky's characters in the film for contrast below.

The George Miller-directed prequel film follows Furiosa in the two decades before we meet her in 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. Pataky isn't the only actor to appear in more than one role, though.

Lachy Hulme also plays a member of Dementus' horde, a character who goes by the name of Rizzdale Pell. Later in the film, Hulme dons the infamous white wig, makeup, and mask of Immortan Joe, stepping into the role first originated by the late Hugh Keays-Byrne in Fury Road.

Before Pataky and Hulme, though, Keays-Byrne himself played double duty. He initially joined the Mad Max saga as its first villain, Toecutter, in 1979's Mad Max before ultimately playing the Citadel's tyrant in Fury Road.

The future of the beloved Australian film franchise is not certain — though Miller told EW his hopes and ideas for its continuation — but should more movies be made, there's at least one Furiosa star who's open to returning as a completely different character: Tom Burke. The English actor plays Praetorian Jack in Furiosa but says he's "hoping" to get the chance to enter the Wasteland once more. "Listen, I'd love to come back and stick some mad headgear on or anything that would mean I could come back in any shape, yeah," he tells EW. "And it's the kind of world where you could."

Furiosa is now playing in theaters.
