Mad Max Timeline Explained: When Each Movie Takes Place
The Mad Max timeline can be difficult to decipher, largely because of the nearly twenty-year delay between the intended release of Mad Max: Fury Road and its actual release in 2015. The extended gap between the franchise’s third and fourth films, and the replacement of Mel Gibson with Tom Hardy in the role of Max Rockatansky, forced some retroactive changes to the overall canon that don’t quite fit with the original trilogy. However, acknowledging these inconsistencies, it’s still possible to map out a general timeline across the four Mad Max films, and the prequel film Furiosa.
