Our Take On Michael Fassbender’s Disastrous Fury Road Audition

Would He Have Made For A Good Max?

Max inFury Roadis a character of few words , often communicate in grunts or what is likely dialogue added through ADR ( robotic dialogue replacing ) . The performance is an vastly strong-arm one , something that Hardy is obviously very undecomposed at .

Hardy late address the possibility of returning as Max inMad Max : The Wasteland , tellingEntertainment Tonight : " No , I have n’t been told anything about it yet , but plainly I ’d have a go at it to do that . "

Fassbender , for case , has act action - hero - type roles before , including in300(2006),Centurion(2010 ) andAssassin ’s Creed(2016).He ’s also very effective when it comes to physically bring down roles with minimal talks , withThe Killer(2023 ) put up as a strong model of this . Mad Max : Fury Road , however , apparently turned out as it was supposed to , and Hardy , despite the frustration on set , ended up being a very strong Max .
