A collection of new posters have been released for Mad Max: Fury Road, the long-awaited next movie in the post-apocalyptic series from director George Miller.

The posters come hot on the heels of the movie’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, and they feature stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, and Hugh Keays-Byrne in what appear to be some intense situations.

You can check out all four new posters below!

Mad Max, the Australian 1979 cult film which became one of the most original, dystopian, and riveting action pictures of all time, spawning a franchise and making its original titualar character Mel Gibson a superstar, is being rebooted. Hall H in today’s Warner Brothers panel proceedings gave the details of Mad Max: Fury Road at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con in sunny San Diego, California.

Moderated by the witty Chris Hardwick and showcasing one George Miller, who directed not only the original film but is also handling the reboot from the directorial chair, there was a wonderful poignancy to their chat, especially when Miller let slip that this was his very first Comic-Con appearance. Miller himself gave us a backstory on the original film and that he was spellbound that he was actually making a new version of the franchise in 2014.

A loner dressed in dusty black leather, his rusted hulk of a badass automotive war machine, and the assembled forces of wasteland evil looming in the distance…what more could you possibly require of a first poster for next year’s Mad Max: Fury Road?

The fourth film in Australian filmmaker George Miller‘s imaginative, highly influential post-apocalyptic action franchise has been in the works since the days when original star Mel Gibson was still a viable screen leading man without a hint of scandal about him. Now that British star-on-the-rise Tom Hardy has replaced Gibson in the iconic role of monosyllabic wanderer Max Rockatansky, Fury Road is finally rolling at full speed and looks to have a huge presence at this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con. Ahead of the Con Warner Brothers has released the first poster for Fury Road, which shows little but promises much.

Recently we found out that Frank Darabont was on the shortlist of potential directors for Snow White and the Huntsman 2, the follow-up to 2012’s re-imagining of the fairy tale that starred Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron, and was directed by Rupert Sanders.

The news that Darabont was a candidate seemed odd. Why would the director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, and the TV series creator of AMC’s The Walking Dead, be interested in making not only a sequel to a movie he wasn’t involved in, but a sequel to a movie that also received mediocre critical response (48% on Rotten Tomatoes, 6.2/10 on IMDB)?

But it appears that the interest is real and something about the project has appealed to Darabont, as it is now being reported that he’s officially in talks to direct Snow White and the Huntsman 2.

So far we’ve only seen the one solid image from the long-awaited next installment in director George Miller‘s Mad Max franchise, Mad Max: Fury Road. But that changes now.

A collection of new images from the movie have been released, and they certainly looks like a Mad Max sequel…one that’s much closer to the first sequel, 1981’s The Road Warrior, and the trilogy-maker Beyond Thunderdome. The images show stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, as well as co-stars Nicholas Hoult, Riley Keough, Courtney Eaton, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and some proper post-apocalyptic vehicles.
