For years,Mel Gibson played the lead role of Maxin director George Miller’s post-apocalyptic saga.
Hedlund has been acting for many years, making his debut in 2004 as Patroclus in the historical epicTroy.
Garrett Hedlund has already shown the qualities needed to playMad Max’s lead hero.

One of my personal favorite Hedlund parts is his supporting role in theCoen Brothers filmInside Llewyn Davis.
Playing a beat poet named Johnny Five, Hedlund is alluring and mysterious in the role.
More recently, Garrett Hedlund has starred in shows such asTulsa KingandLawmen: Bass Reeves.

These series see the actor play more Western-throw in roles that liken him more to a genre performance.
More recently, Hedlund has played the lead in 2023sDesperation RoadandThe Tutor.
Mad Max: Fury RoadandFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagaare both available to stream on Max.
