Tom Hardy is addressing the possibility of returning to the Mad Max universe for a rumored prequel, The Wasteland.

In a new interview about his latest film, The Bikeriders, Hardy was asked about possibly working with George Miller again to reprise his Mad Max: Fury Road role.

“I don’t think that’s happening,” Hardy told Forbes.

Hardy starred opposite Charlize Theron in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, and Miller recently recalled the on-set drama between the two stars.

“They were just two very different performers,” Miller told The Telegraph recently. “Tom has a damage to him but also a brilliance that comes with it, and whatever was going on with him at the time, he had to be coaxed out of his trailer. Whereas Charlize was incredibly disciplined – a dancer by training, which told in the precision of her performance – and always the first one on set.”

The director said that after the issue was addressed, things got gradually better, adding, “I’m an optimist, so I saw their behavior as mirroring their characters, where they had to learn to cooperate in order to ensure mutual survival. There’s no excuse for it, and I think there’s a tendency in this business to use great performances as an excuse for other disruption that could be avoided.”

As far as another installment in the Mad Max franchise, Miller told Deadline recently that he will have to “wait and see” for the possibility of making The Wasteland.

“We have to see how well this one does,” he told us.
