Paging Mel Gibson: Charlize Theron has signed on for the revival of the actor's post-apocalyptic Mad Max movies.
Charlize will star in the fourth installment of the franchise - last seen on our screens in 1985 - with Mad Max: Fury Road.
British actor Tom Hardy will be the Burning Plain beauty's leading man when they start filming in Australia next August.
No news on whether Mel — who launched his career as an Aussie unknown in the original 1979 Max Max movie - will be involved.
