Mad Max 5 Update From Director George Miller
Director George Miller provides an update on the long-gestating Mad Max 5: The Wasteland, the sequel to Mad Max: Fury Road. Acting as the fourth installment in the Mad Max franchise, which first graced screens in 1979 with Mel Gibson in the titular role, 2015's Fury Road was an undeniable hit. In addition to boasting some of the best reviews of the franchise, Fury Road was also a major success at the box office, earning over $375 million on a production budget estimated to be around $185 million.

A sequel to the film, with a working title of Mad Max: The Wasteland was announced shortly after the release of Mad Max: Fury Road, with Miller even announcing that a script had been completed. Since then, however, concrete news regarding the film has been hard to come by. After delays due to a legal dispute between Miller and Warner Bros., the production of the highly anticipated Furiosa prequel, and Hardy's packed film and television schedule, many fans are wondering whether Mad Max 5: The Wasteland will happen at all.
