If you look at it now, it was a changeover of hands in a way, from Mad Max to Furiosa. “It was interesting how that one unpacked. It was in the title,” Hardy said about “Fury Road,” which remains one of the most acclaimed action movies ever made.
“That was ultimately Furiosa’s movie, which was fantastic. The actor praised Miller’s decision to refocus the franchise and expand it beyond the title character. During a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Hardy said he was thrilled to be part of “Fury Road” because it was a Furiosa movie anyway. The decision means fans will have to wait for Tom Hardy to reprise Max Rockatansky in a proper “Fury Road” sequel, but it sounds like Hardy is more than fine waiting.
George Miller is keeping the “ Mad Max” franchise alive with his upcoming “Fury Road” prequel movie centered on Furiosa.
