Rumblings are growing that Mad Max: Fury Road star Tom Hardy might be the next James Bond. BoyleSports, an Irish bookmaker site, shows that betters are predicting that Hardy will land the coveted spy role when Daniel Craig decides to step down. Continue reading
Although we already knew our new Max, Tom Hardy, had signed on for three films, Nerdist has broken the news that those two films will in fact be… PREQUELS. Does this mean more Furiosa? Please let this mean more Furiosa.
Nerdist also reports that Hugh Keays-Byrne, the actor that plays the villain Immortan Joe, is also aboard for the prequels.
All that remains is to convince Charlize Theron to agree to return as Furiosa. Almost everyone who has seen Mad Max Fury Road wants to see more of her character, Furiosa. George Miller initially stated that the next movie was going to be titled Mad Max Furiosa, but now the working title will be Mad Max The Wasteland.
David Ayer’s Suicide Squad is getting some serious press these days, and I continue to believe that there’s more excitement about this than there is about Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Suicide Squad sounds like it could be excellent, and it certainly has a solid cast attached to it. But there was a time during which that cast was even better, and that’s when Tom Hardy was attached to play Rick Flagg. The actor had to drop out of the project before filming began, and there were some rumors at the time that his reason for leaving was that he wasn’t happy with the script.
In a recent interview with Collider, Hardy himself went on the record about Suicide Squad and tells us why he left in his own words (keep in mind that the word “alley” apparently means “right up there with the best”): Continue reading
Tom Hardy has revealed that he’s attached to star in three more “Mad Max” films following “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which opens May 15.
In an interview with Miranda Collinge for Esquire magazine, Hardy made the disclosure during a discussion of his role in the fourth “Mad Max.” Continue reading
After Tom Hardy dropped out of Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. went after Jake Gyllenhaal and offered him the role of Rick Flagg. Gyllenhaal would have been great in the role, especially after he beefed up for his upcoming boxing film Southpaw. We won’t be seeing Gyllenhaal in the movie, though. According to Variety, the actor passed on the offer. I’m sure the studio was prepared for this and has a list of actors they would like to bring on.
I actually thought that Gyllenhaal would take the part as he already has a working relationship with director David Ayer. The two worked together on the incredible police drama End of Watch. There was no reason given as to why he passed, but production starts in April, so there’s still plenty of time to find an actor to take on the role of Rick Flagg.
The movie still has a lot of star power behind it, including Will Smith (Deadshot), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jared Leto (The Joker), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), and Cara Delevingne (Enchantress). They obviously want another big A-list star to play Flagg,
So with 2 big names out for the same role who would you like to see as flagg?
Suicide Squad is set to bow August 5th, 2016.
Looks like someone might have an ego issue. Yesterday we reported that Tom Hardy had dropped out of David Ayer‘s Suicide Squad due to scheduling conflicts. Apparently that’s not the real reason he left. Continue reading
TheWrap brings word today that not only has actor Tom Hardy had to drop out out of Warner Bros.
