Mad Max Is Back! Charlize Set To Star (Not As Max)

The Mad Max franchise will be resurrected! The only question is, will Mad Mel Gibson return for it?

That remains to be seen but it has been announced that Charlize Theron will be joining the post-apocalyptic fun! She has signed on to star in the fourth chapter of the series, titled Mad Max: Fury Road.

As the film doesn't start shooting until next August, the production still has time to sway Mel to return. But, if he declines, the show will go on without him, says director George Miller, who also helmed the first three films: "It could be Mel, it could be anyone."

Hm, interesting. Who else could it be?

Any suggestions?
