The arrival of George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road back in 2015 proved to be a satisfying rush of adrenaline for audiences who had waited 30 years for more Mad Max.
What’s wonderful about George [Miller] is that he’s created sagas for Max and sagas for Furiosa, so it’s what he chooses to focus in on.
After taking on the onetime Mel Gibson role of Max Rockatansky, Tom Hardy brought a visceral dynamism to the character that was matched only by Charlize Theron’s portrayal of Imperator Furiosa.
The two actors were a highlight for many and all awards and praise for Fury Road aside, it’s perhaps Hardy and Theron’s embodiment of their roles that has pushed George Miller on toward making more.
