It's been three years since director George Miller's tire-shredding apocalypse in Mad Max: Fury Road, and now leading man Tom Hardy has discussed the possibility of some upcoming sequels.


Speaking to Variety, the Venom actor revealed: "It was always the plan to do three of them, so I think we're still waiting on being given the opportunity and the greenlight to go ahead on the next one. But when I engaged on that there was a plethora of material on it."

When questioned about the projects waiting to get the go ahead, he said: "Obviously it belongs to Warner Brothers so it would be them who greenlit it. But a lot of projects are in radial, you know you wait for something to land when it's real, and as soon as it's real we'll jump on it."

However, this isn't the first instance in which Hardy has opened up about Fury Road follow-ups, with the 40-year-old previously appearing optimistic on the subject.

"Yeah I believe [that we're doing sequels]! I don't know when that starts, but I believe that's in the books. There's a couple of those floating around. I'm waiting for the call to come. It was so good, man," he commented last year.

Hardy's colleague on the film, Charlize Theron (who plays Imperator Furiosa) has also previously opened up about her working relationship with the Max Rockatansky actor, admitting that they weren't always all buddy buddy on set.

She said: "Maybe the movie is what it is because we struggled so much with each other, and those characters had to struggle so much with each other.

"If we were chum-chum, maybe the movie would have been 10 times worse."
