According to Australia's The Daily Telegraph, the new movie will be called Mad Max: Fury Road and will begin filming immediately in Sydney...and star ol Whispery Worthington! They report that Charlize Theron is still on board as the female lead.

This is a big coincidence, as the Worthinites(people that cast Sam in every upcoming movie) were only calling for him to play Max on the last article! Well, folks you may get your wish. At least we wont have to worry about his American accent eh.

Nothing is confirmed either way of course, but if it did come down to Hardy or Worthington, who would you rather see go mental in the desert?



And lets not forget, Charlize Theron may also be in it:)

If Harrison Ford can still play Indiana Jones, Mel Gibson can still swing Mad Max...

Okay maybe that is a bad idea.

I don't care for Worthington, but I can actually see him in this as the title role.

I just watched the first Mad Max the other day and though it's not a masterpiece by any means it is enjoyable!I think if they are gonna go with an aussie actor then eric bana should do it, I'm not too keen on tom hardy for it

Happy Saturday, friends.

Man what is it with this guy? He's everywhere these days. He is like THE go to guy for a generic action hero role lately.

haha @ Teabag: UNWorthington? Nice. why?
I honestly barely noticed him in Terminator. I saw the "he's a robot" thing coming six months before the movie came out. Other than that, his voice wasn't very commanding. He came across as kind of tough. But not memorably so really.
Does anyone besides Mr. LEEE think this dude is a good actor?
FORTAPACHE
FORTAPACHE - 10/24/2009, 7:43 AM
Nope mate, he is just flavour of the month for some reason!
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 10/24/2009, 8:03 AM
I think people just assume he must be good because he has been cast in some big movies..the fact that no one has seen them yet doesn't seem to deter them! Hey he could be great in em, I'm just going by what I have seen already, which is Terminator, and in which, he was not so great.

FORTAPACHE - 10/24/2009, 8:12 AM
tom hardy aint right for it though!either is mr. worthinghton!what do you make to eric bana for the rolrthoughyay or nay?
FORTAPACHE
FORTAPACHE - 10/24/2009, 8:18 AM
that last
post didn't make sense!what do you reckon as eric bana for mad max Ror?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 10/24/2009, 8:21 AM
I think Bana is a great actor, and would be better than either of em! Unfortunately, he seems content to make rom coms these days

Worthington is a great actor. Best choice for the role of Max after Gibson. Hardy would be a great to see as that vicious bad guy (That Vernon Wells type of baddie from the Road Warrior).

Tom Hardy all the way, i like Worthington but if any of you guys have seen Hardy in anything you'd realise he is the superior actor, he is one of the best actors out there today. No Joke. Hardy for Mad Max the guy needs a role like this.

FORTAPACHE-- Dude, Chopper was epic! That one really put Bana on the map for me. Was that his first movie?

It looks like Hardy was in a "Chopper" like role with "Bronson". I haven't seen it but I know the story and it's a heavy one so the guy has to be a great actor. He would definitely own the role but I think Worthington would do a fine job as well. He's Australian and he looks and acts the part. Plus Mad Max is probably like the Aussy Captain America so an Aussy must play him. Honestly, were there any well known Australian movies before Mad Max?

How much does anyone want to bet that a Captain America discussion will ensue at any moment?

It always does when any article so much as mentions Ol' Whispery Worthington ;)

i really like worthington in terminator, and i cant wait to see him in his next movie, and i think he would make a wicked C A,
sorry @ in tyler we trust82

but it simply is not worth making another mad max with out mel gibson, its one of the stupidest idea ive ever heard, its mels charactor, lie stallone and rambo and rocky, harrsion and han solo and I jones,

i am ushally end up watching every thing, but with out mel its not mad max.

I just read that Sam Worthington is also up for the roles of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Shrek, Wolverine, The Green and Grey Hulk, President Obama and Snarf from Thunder Cats. Is there anything this guy can't do?!?!

Rolanddeschain19 - 10/24/2009, 9:34 AM
by the way did mad max ever get made into a comic book, not bitching about the articale, just curios

imnotwearinghockeypants: Don't forget he'll be Lion-O in the new Thundercats movie, which was for some reason re-named Avatar ;) BAZING!

Why does anyone care if something is specifically comic book movie related? CBM is the umbrella under which everything that interests people like us resides, including: movies, games, sci-fi, cartoons, horror, smallville (groan), specific actors & actresses, things that are hilarious, boobs, and yes comics themselves.

What's the big deal. We're all friends and our interests are all related.

RedSkull: It's okay man, as long as it's entertaining I'm happy ;)

And the Ackles support doesn't hurt either, but now I KNOW Lee is going to bash Ackles and start the Cap discussion as soon as he arrives. It's inevitable now ;)

I love your manips BTW, they're awesome.

RedSkull@, Ha ha ha ha ha!
That manip is rich!!!! LMAO

Let's all of us on CBM write
a comic book movie script
together and have Unworthington,
Ryan Reynolds, JDM and Gerard
Butler star in all the rolls....
....NOT!

Geez, Worthington is one of the
most unlikely, weak-voiced, shrimpy
action actors ever! Too bad all the
REAL action stars are all getting so
long in the tooth 'cause there's
hardly any new REAL action stars
nowadays!

There is NO WAY Worthlessington is any
kind of commanding tough guy and NO WAY
is he Mad Max! Damm this gives me a
headache!!!

RedSkull: No problem, but that's really cool that one of your Ackles manips got onto that site! I really like the ones where you use Cap toys with Ackles head, they always look really cool and they fit together greatly!

DDD: Ryan Reynolds - All the Justice League members

JDM: All the Avengers

Gerard Butler: All the CBM villains

Whispery Worthington: All the second-rate female CBM characters ;)

Almighty Norris One! :D :D :D

Perfect Tyler@! LMAO

I say bring in Christian Bale to play Mad Max!

He's a good actor and can do just about any
accent you want! I think Bale would hit Mad
Max out of the park!

Thank God, hopefully this means that UnWorthington (great nickname you chose there teabag, lol!) will be too busy for even being considered to play Captain America!

Poor LEE is gonna break his heart though...
