In a recent interview discussing his latest film “The Bikeriders,” Tom Hardy addressed the potential of reprising his role in the Mad Max universe for the rumored prequel, “The Wasteland.” Hardy, known for his role in 2015’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” alongside Charlize Theron, expressed skepticism about returning, telling Forbes, “I don’t think that’s happening.”
The speculation about Hardy’s return comes amidst director George Miller recalling past on-set dynamics between Hardy and Theron. Miller described them as “two very different performers,” noting Hardy’s complexity and Theron’s disciplined approach as a dancer. Despite initial challenges, Miller remains optimistic, likening their on-set dynamics to their characters’ struggle for cooperation in the film.
Regarding the future of the Mad Max franchise, Miller remains cautious. When asked about the possibility of “The Wasteland,” he told Deadline, “We have to wait and see how well this one does.”
