George Miller is already unsurprisingly in talks with Warner Bros. to  make at least one follow up to the surprisingly  good Mad Max reboot starring Tom Hardy as rugged post-apocalyptic road warrior Max Rockatansky. Miller has revealed that he is in talks with Warner Bros about adapting at least one of two potential scripts he already has prepared.

“After Fury Road was delayed we had dug down deep into the backstory, not only of the characters, but of every vehicle. How the steering wheels became religious artifacts, and things like that. So we ended up with two scripts, without really trying. We’re talking to the studio about it as we speak, but which one of the two stories will happen next, I’m not so sure.”

It’s hardly a surprise given the overwhelming positive critical response and solid global box office performance that the studio are eager to give Miller and Hardy another joy ride in the desert. Whether or not Charlize Theron’s scene stealing Furiosa returns is another less certain proposition.
