Perhaps the most interesting film that will be getting a preview at this year’s Comic Con is George Miller‘s Mad Max: Fury Road considering we pretty much know exactly what we’re going to get from all the comic book-based movies teased at the convention. Then again, I guess we sort of know what we’re going to get from Mad Max, but there’s a big question mark on this one as to just how well it will all turn out after years of production ups and downs.
Today, along with new pictures earlier, comes the first poster for the film featuring Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky, a role was made iconic by Mel Gibson in the original films. Max is a hardened ex-cop in a future beset by gas shortages and marauding gangs.
This time around the story is said to the take place a short while after the story detailed after 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, which keeps Mad Max relatively young. This time around the story centers on Max (Hardy) and the “Five Wives,” a group of women Max must protect from the bad guys. Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz, Adelaide Clemens, Nicholas Hoult, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Megan Gale co-star.
Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters on May 15, 2015.
