Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy)

Role: The Reluctant Blood Bag
Affiliation: None
Key Trait: Hallucinatory trauma.
Replacing Mel Gibson, Hardy’s Max is a feral survivor haunted by the ghosts of those he couldn’t save. For the first third of the film, he is literally muzzled. The index notes that Max speaks only 59 lines of dialogue; he communicates through grunts, glances, and violent efficiency. His primary function is as a driver and balancer of the War Rig.
