Mad Max: Fury Road’s first trailer debuted at Comic-Con this summer and, in two action-laden minutes, it managed to arrest much of the negativity that had affixed itself to the long-delayed movie and course-correct the film onto people’s must-watch list. Now, a few months later, comes a second burst of Maxness and more of the same. Click below to see if George Miller’s marketeers have lived up to that earlier effort.
Looking about 22 per cent more badass than we’ve seen him before – yes, even as those twin ‘Bs’, Bane and Bronson – is Tom Hardy as the mythical four-wheeled warrior, Max Rockatansky. As with Mel Gibson’s forerunner, he’s a man fleeing his tragic past. His wife and child have been killed and all that’s left for him is a desolate land crawling in scum and villainy. And, being Mad Max, he’s going to have a red hot go at killing quite a lot of it.
He finds himself caught up with an Imperator called Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and her crew, who are fleeing headlong from an even greater threat. And... well, carnage ensues.
Co-starring with Hardy and Theron are Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and the big bad, Hugh Keays-Byrne. Mad Max: Fury Road hits our screens on May 15, 2015.
