Franchise creator George Miller has revealed that the Fury Road star will not make his highly anticipated Furiosa cameo as Max Rockatansky, but his replacement is just as good, literally. "It’s Jacob Tomuri, who was Tom Hardy's double," Miller confirmed at a Furiosa screening, as reported by Screen Rant, "He's a New Zealand stuntman, and he was doing some other stunts on the film, and I thought, who better?"
Acting as a prequel to the 2015 flick, Furiosa follows the origin story of the one-armed female warrior we met in Mad Max: Fury Road and how she was taken from The Green Place and brought to The Citadel. Miller teased earlier this year that Furiosa features a glimpse of Max and his recognizable car, prompting all of us to believe Hardy would make an appearance. But alas, it is not meant to be.
