    There's NO reason why T.Hardy's character couldn't be the boomerang throwing kid just mimicking his childhood hero, trying to give others the hope Max gave him. Now that would be quite a twist.

    it's a great idea, but I think the mystery of what happened to him has a power to it. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him do even a small Easter Egg cameo as either definitely Max or maybe Max. But Mel doing a voiceover for a limited animated 'What happened to Max?' series set just after he's last seen heading into the desert would work better than an actual appearance by a 68 year-old Gibson. Even Hugh Jackman is now pushing it to play Wolverine at 55. But Hugh has the advantage of playing a character that doesn't age like normal humans. Mad Max couldn't be half the man he was when we last saw him. As far as live action is concerned it's maybe better left well enough alone.

    Miller must really not like Mel nowadays, because I completely agree.

    At one point the screenplay for Fury Road focused heavily on Max being an older guy. Not elderly like Indiana Jones, but still old. It was a huge focus early in development and if you look at the storyboards for Fury Road you can see clearly Max is drawn to look old. It was only when Tom Hardy was cast in the role that they shifted focus away from that a bit, although even in the final product there are some small details that seem to be holdovers from before Hardy's casting.

    I can remember a time when I worked in a camera shop in BondinJunction and this charming silver haired gentleman came in for a passport photo. We got into a conversation and he mentioned he was off to Africa. It wasn’t until he paid took his photo and left after a nice thank you that I realised it was George Miller and I kicked myself stupid for the next hour or so. The things I’ve always wanted to discuss with him and to tell him how much his work and him in general have meant to me as a fellow Greek Australian. Oh well maybe in another life I will catch up with him and thank him for it all

    I still love the theory that Tom Hardy in Fury Road wasn't the real Max, but that he was the feral kid in the previous film grown up. With him having the music box thing that Max gave him and the fact that he hardly talks. I think George shot down that rumor, but I think it works out better that way. Making it where Max is more of a mythic figure. The feral kid looked up to Max, and I think at the end of Fury Road when she asks for his name, he paused before he says Max. He was adopting the name, and taking on that wasteland desperado image

    Mel Gibson looks fantastic for his age and his acting ability would bring Max back with a bang. Real shame Fury Road wasn't written for an older Mac following Thunderdome. It's obvious that the Gibson controversy at the time when Fury Road came into being was the reason for him not reprising the role as it may have jeopardised the potential reception of the movie and all the hard work.

    Jake, thank you sooooo much for this amazing interview. I feel as you do regarding Mr. Miller. He is a genius, plain and simple. I have been a fan of his work since I saw the Road Warrior on VHS as a fifteen year old in 1982. Your exuberance for Mr. Miller and his work seemed genuine. Heck, I could listen to Mr. Miller talk about his experiences in regard to filmmaking for hours. Mr. Miller seems like a genuine likable man. Thank you for the question about his medical career in relation to his filmmaking career. The Road Warrior is my favorite film of all time and this series of films is one of my favorites. I can’t wait to see Furiosa. Lastly, I am still bummed that we never got to see his version of Justice League. Very interesting cast choices for this proposed version.

Also, that last part teared me up. You made that 80 year old man feel seen, and that is probably something he doesn't experience every day, despites his treasure trove of a career.

    I don’t know. Personally, I think Tom brought a unique sense of ‘madness’ to Max that Mel lacked in the previous movies. Sure Mel has the cool bravado of a wandering outcast but I think Tom’s feral approach to the character brought a much more vulnerable aspect to the Max that I thought was very good.
