Nemesis Star Tom Hardy Confirmed to Star in Mad Max Fury Road

This is sort of a comeback for Hardy, after the box office failure of Nemesis "I came back from 'Star Trek,' and I didn't have any work, and I panicked," Hardy told Variety today.

"I desperately want to be establishment, part of the heritage of solid actors that come out of the U.K.," he says

"I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry

"...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry

Actually I'm glad both are back: Tom Hardy and Mad Max! Hardy isn't a bad actor. His Shinzon was great, It wasn't his fault the movie tanked...

It is well know how NEMESIS almost destroyed his career in Hollywood. It is nice that he is making a comeback due to the success of the recent aclaimed movie Bronson.
