Tom Hardy takes over as Mad Max in George Miller’s return to the series he created and has helmed every sequel since Mel Gibson became a superstar in the first one in the early '80s.

Warner Bros. has released an army of photos for one of our most anticipated movies of 2015 -- Mad Max Fury Road -- that also shows off a look at Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult’s characters, as well as a first image of our villain(s).

And if these photos are any indication (like the Mad Max Fury Road trailer was), this flick that lands May 15 is out of this world nuts -- and that is exactly how we like our Mad Max movies.

For those new to the franchise, Mad Max imagines a world that has turned into a wasteland of crazies driving cars in search of gas, food and water, as all are in short supply. Max is a reluctant hero, and one unlike we've ever seen before. 

We think that casting of Hardy is brilliant and can't wait to see him take over the series. 

Mad Max Fury Road also stars Zoe Kravitz!
