Max is back and he's set to be madder than ever - but will Mel Gibson be onboard?

It was 1979 when a fresh-faced Gibson, then aged 21, took the lead in the first Mad Max movie.

Director George Miller says pre-production is well underway for the fourth instalment of the hugely successful franchise.

But he was tight-lipped on whether Gibson was being cast for the movie, titled Mad Max Fury Road.

But he did say the movie would take the franchise in a new direction.

There's speculation that Aussie actor Sam Worthington may star in the new movie and reports suggest Charlize Theron has been earmarked for one of the lead

Filming will get underway in the city and in Broken Hill, outback New South Wales, during August next year.
