As for the possibilities in Hardy’s future, he says of the rumored Mad Max: The Wasteland George Miller project, “I don’t think that’s happening.”
Furiosa’s flop seems to have put an end to that franchise
…That’s not exactly what you would call a definitive ‘no’. If anything, I think that biggest issue would be that he, much like Charlize Theron, would just be too old for a prequel that takes place between Mad Max and Mad Max: Fury Road, and way too old for something that takes place before the original Mad Mad.
Also, Furiosa was fantastic.
I don’t really mind…
Maybe I’m the only one, but I wasn’t enamored by his take on Max. Fury Road is an absolutely fantastic movie and is easily in my top-10 right now, but I credit that much more to George Miller, Charlize, and Nicholas Hoult. Max seemed like almost an afterthought.
I think I need to watch Fury Road again, because seriously, I didn’t like it. Too cliché, too predictable.
The action is just so amazing, as well as the works building. You’re right that is relatively predictable, but it’s not it’s intention to be unpredictable, just a very cool action movie
I’m not a huge Mad Max fan, but I didn’t predict anything in that film. Especially character design. Between the cars, the War Boys, and all 3 of the villains I was surprised each time.
A suggestion, since you don’t like the plot:
It is a visually stunning movie, try watching it just for the cinematography. IMO… every frame could be a photograph. Here - I’ll grab one, totally random. You can do this close to anywhere in the movie, take a frame - hang it on a wall:

Bonus… I could seriously do this all day and come up with amazing shots: https://i.imgur.com/gmhfZ7k.png
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Why was the movie so highly praised? I hate everything about it. It’s so cringe, I’m 14 and this is deep, edgy teen crap.
This take is like being mad at supercars for not being practical daily drivers.
It’s a pure action movie. Why would you ever be expecting anything deep?
It’s a pity but, given Furiosa underwhelming at the box office and Tom Hardy being a pain to work with on Fury Road, I didn’t have my hopes up.
I read that Furiosa flopped so that might have something to do with it. Also everyone involved is ten years older now than they were when Fury Road was made so there is that to consider as well. I say give us a few animated Mad Max movies and revisit the live action stuff in 20 years. I’d be happy with that.
Personally, I have no interest in animated versions. The live action spectacle is important. IMO.
And don’t anyone get pedantic about what animation means.
That’s a really fair point. Part of the draw of the Mad Max films is the insane action and chase sequences. It just hits different with live action. It would be tough to pull off that same level of awe inducing spectacle in an animated film.
Aww darn, I was really hoping for a new mad max movie where he takes a back seat to some other character it was so enjoyable the last time.
