Chris Hemsworth Talks Mad Max Furiosa 'Pressure'

Rohan

"George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road was one of the most popular movies of 2015, that not only took the box office by storm but won several Oscars along the way. While many loved being able to see Mad Max on the big screen once again, it was Charlize Theron's Furiosa that drew the most attention. So it's to little surprise that when George Miller returns to the post-apocalyptic wasteland again very soon, it will be with a prequel film about her, rather than the next story about Max. The main male character this time around will be played by Chris Hemsworth, in a role we know very little about. There are very few details about the Mad Max prequel called Furiosa, other than the fact that the role originated by Charlize Theron will be played by Anya Taylor-Joy and that Chris Hemsworth will also appear in an undisclosed role. Speaking at a press conference (via Australia's ABC.Net), Hemsworth was tight lipped on details, though he did admit to being a massive fan of the franchise. Being Australian, the Mad Max franchise, was a major influence on his own desire to be an actor. Perhaps that's why Hemsworth says that he might actually give the original Mad Max, Mel Gibson, a call to get some advice."

Seeing how the setting of the movie is post apocalyptic I can't imagine a muscle build actor to play main role. For this reason + others I found Mel Gibson back in the days a great choice. Well at least bloke from down under can act... so movie may be good

So it will be fine if he is muscular as Humungous in the second movie. As for thee taking advice part, I am not sure, maybe he is trying to get a feel of the Mad Max world from Mel Gibson. Chris may also play Max (So asking Mel for Advice connects the dots), but that seems to be unlikely to me, as they could have casted Tom Hardy for the role.
