In globalizing the Aussie wanderlust in the expansive openness since many 70s films, yes Ledger would\’ve given an unique take filtering some group or tribal consensus, through his role though ostensibly set in dystopia. It\’s an unspoken relationship to the surrounding space, that even Eastwood didn\’t fully develop until more films into his collaboration with Leone. Hopefully Hardy develops that extra-craft dimension too.

Ledger would likely make a solid Mad Max. Tom Hardy was very solid himself, but it\’s tough to compare to Mel Gibson in that role specifically because his face and expression define the emptiness of the wasteland and a broken man so well.

Furiosa was a proposed anime tie-in to Fury Road, wasn\’t it?

I\’m sure Heath Ledger would make the character completely his own, something he\’d done with every role he portrayed in his short but deeply memorable career. LOVED Hardy in the role (for me, he easily surpassed Mel Gibson) but Ledger would be a really interesting choice as Mad Max. It\’s a shame that towering talent of his is gone. He\’ll always live through his terrific cinematic work though.

I\’m huge mad max fan and I remember being excited for the next film because of the Heath ledger rumors. He was a great actor and I\’ve never seen him in a bad role. If I was to pick what movie of his sold me on him being the next max was a knights tale, he did such a great job. I wasn\’t sold on tom hardy beingax until I saw the film, which I have seen twice. Even his amazing performance as bane, he didn\’t seem like a max type actor. Fury Road is a worthy addition to the series, I do wonder how different it would have turned out with heath ledger in the war rig passenger seat next to charlize Theron.

I guess the real question here is why Mel Gibson never played a villain in one of Chris Nolan\’s Batman films.
