We heard some PROMETHEUS-related talk from the lovely Charlize Theron last week, and this week the lass is chatting about her next big action extravaganza: MAD MAX FURY ROAD. Yes, the actress is still attached to the film (which we learned last month is still being prepped in Australia) and UK site Total Film wanted to know just where it’ll fit in with the other MAX flicks.

“I think we’ve been told is it’s not a sequel or a prequel. It’s the world of Mad Max but it’s a re-imagination. I play a warrior and Mad Max is played by Tom Hardy; at least I hope it’s still Tom Hardy. That’s really all I think I can say”.
