Mel Gibson (Before his nervous breakdown) as the original version of Mad Max Rockatansky
So it goes like this. Mad Max Rockatansky was a normal everyday police officer. He kills a car driving Hells Angels biker dude who was recklessly drunk driving and tearing up the town. He later arrests another Hells Angels Biker only to have a lawyer free him up with some legal technicality. The Hells Angels Biker gang of Toecutter kills his police department sidekick Goose (It's tempting to say that his (Max's) goose was cooked, but that wouldn't be a fair thing to say in case actual third degree burn patients were reading this), murders his wife and infant son before hanging and gutting his pet dog. And a second pet dog is harpooned by an archery arrow (Toecutter killed the first pet dog in Mad Max and The Humungus killed the second pet dog in The Road Warrior). Now with nothing left to live for, Mad Max is a homeless vagrant wandering from town to town saving people before vanishing before anybody gets too close to him. The first three films in the series Mad Max, The Road Warrior and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome was filmed and set in post nuclear apocalyptic Australia. I'm guessing the fourth Mad Max movie is also set in Australia, but filmed on location in South Africa.
Mel Gibson, who played Mad Max in the first three films, has been replaced by Tom Hardy (Who played Bane in the Dark Knight Rises now gets to play a crime fighting hero).
Charlize Theron plays Imperator Furiosa.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley plays Splendid (I'm guessing she's the love interest). Zoë Kravitz (The daughter of soul music rock star and actor (The Hunger Games) Lenny Kravitz and actress (The Cosby Show) Lisa Bonet) as Toast, Riley Keough (The Granddaughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley and also the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Kough) as Capable and Courtney Eaton as Fragile. Are they four of the rumored Five Wives characters in the Mad Max: Fury Road film? The role the Five Wives have in the Mad Max: Fury Road film isn't truly known yet.
I heard one rumor that the Five Wives belong to the possible main villain of the film named Immortan Joe. If so, where does Charlize Theron fit into the film? Perhaps she gets to play a decent human being after all.

Abbey Lee Kershaw plays Wife #5 named the Dag. She's not in costume in this photo though
Of course, a Mad Max film is never complete without a demolition derby crash up of weird looking cars. Here are some of the weird looking cars that will be seen in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Somebody in post nuclear apocalyptic Australia loves to play music.
