Mel Gibson won’t reprise his role in Mad Max 4, aka Mad Max Road Fury. Actor Tom Hardy is taking over the role of Max Rockatansky:
“[Mad Max Fury Road] is a relaunch and revisit to the world, an entire restructuring. That’s not to say that it’s not picking up or leaving off from the Mad Max you know already, but it’s a nice re-take on the entire world using the same character, depositing him in the same world, but bringing him up to date by 30 years. Obviously Mel would’ve been perfect for it but, for some reason, he’s not doing it and I am. You can expect the same amount of grit and rawness and authenticity to my performance, I hope to deliver. But that’s really the crux of me and George to deliver that and all the other actors as the other characters.”

Tom Hardy is now heading to Australia where he will train to look the part and prepare for shooting.
The movie Mad Max Fury 4 Road will probably be released in 2012.
