First Look: Tom Hardy as Mad Max in ‘FURY ROAD.’ Oh golly. Gosh.

Yeah so like, this is igniting the phat pipes of the Internet today. Tom Hardy as Mad Max. It isn’t anything special. The picture comes across as one of Hardy just trying to keep the sand out of his balls. So yeah, fantastique or something.

The Verge:

Today we’re getting our first look at Tom Hardy’s take on a rather iconic character: Mad Max. This above photo surfaced today via Twitter user Dexter Rose, purporting to be a still of the actor — most recently seen as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises — in the upcoming film Fury Road. Warner Bros. itself later confirmed to Indiewire that the image was authentic. The new movie, which has Hardy replacing Mel Gibson in the role, is being written and directed by George Miller — the same filmmaker behind the original Max Madtrilogy. We have to say what we like what we see so far, and it’s yet another indicator that 2013 is going to be quite an exciting year in movies.
