Charlize Theron Showcased In Final ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Trailer

Lesson learned from new “Mad Max” trailer – don’t mess with Charlize Theron.

The final trailer for “Mad Max: Fury Road” was unveiled on Tuesday, giving us a bit more of a glimpse at Charlize’s road-weary, shaved head, bionic arm-toting badass character, Furiosa.

The new preview also offers up a bit more plot details, as we see Furiosa leading her gang of rebels through the desert wasteland, as well as what ignites one of the previously trailer-showcased high-speed desert chase sequences.

While Tom Hardy plays title character “Mad” Max Rockatansky, the new trailer shows that Charlize’s Furiosa is every bit a central figure to the movie’s plot.

“I’m really grateful to George [Miller] for entrusting this character to me. She’s unusual and she’s different and she’s really like nothing I’ve ever encountered,” earlier this month at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.

The George Miller-directed film is a reboot of the original “Mad Max” film from 1979, which starred Mel Gibson in the title role.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” – also featuring Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Jones, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Riley Keough — storms into theaters May 15, 2015.
