George Miller’sMad Maxfranchise has been around for ages in the form of films, games, and comics. A part of popular culture already, its popularity further exploded whenMad Max: A Fury Roadwas released in 2015, three decades after the last film. Starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in the lead, it is one of the best-ranked movies of the entire saga.
Taking the tale even further (or ratherbackward), the nextMad Maxmovie will be a prequel exploring the origins of Furiosa. And Geroge Miller recently revealed that he has a prequel planned that would bring back Hardy.
George Miller’s NextMad MaxMovie Can Bring Back Tom Hardy
Chris HemsworthandAnya Taylor-Joyare all set to lead the nextMad Maxmovie,Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, that goes even further into the post-apocalyptic world, to reveal the origins of Furiosa. Played by Charlize Theron in the critically acclaimedMad: Max: The Fury Road, Furiosa is a fan-favorite character,making the movie a highly anticipated entry.
“We worked so hard to keep people immersed”: George Miller Has No Plans of Bringing Back Mel Gibson in Mad Max Despite Calling it a Fun Idea to Explore
Despite the addition of actors like Hemsworth and Taylor-Joy, fans of the franchise still want Tom Hardy to return as Max. And in a new interview withEntertainment Weekly,George Millerconfirmed thatFuriosawill feature ablind-and-misscameo of Max and his car, the Interceptor.
What’s more, is that Miller already has a story written down, set a year beforeFury Road, that he expects to make some time in the future.
“In doing what we did in the preparation of Mad Max: Fury Road, we also wrote what happened to Max in the year before we encounter him in [that film]. And as we get towards the end of this movie, the chronology… Basically, we had to see that Mad Max was lurking around somewhere because we do know what happened. The writers know what happened to Mad Max in that year before, and we have a whole story of that, which I would like to do sometime if I get the chance.”

This is an exciting update, as such a movie will bring Hardy’s Max back to the saga. And fans can hardly wait to witness Hardy’s outstanding performance once again.
Fans Excited As George Miller Reveals Plans For Another Tom Hardy-Starrer Movie
Before the release ofFury Road,Tom Hardyhad signed on forthreeMad Maxmovies. Hence, Hardy coming back as Max is not a question of if, but rather when (viaGQ). After George Miller’s recent revelation, although ambiguous and shrouded in uncertainty,Hardy might very well make his way backto the dystopian wreckage of a world.
And after Miller’s comments went viral, this is how fans reacted:
Bringing back Tom Hardy would be aweeeeesome

Tom Hardy’s performance inThe Fury Roadwas incredible and the movie went on to earn several Academy Award nominations, winning six of them. Yet, having anotherMad Maxmovie will largely depend uponFuriosa’sbox office performance and reception. Furthermore, with Miller already 79, him directing another of these post-apocalyptic features seems unlikely.
Yet, seeing the popularity of the franchise and Hardy being a fan-favorite, the chances of us getting another Hardy-starrerMad Maxmovie is definitely not impossible.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Sagawill be in theatres on June 11, 2025.
