Tom, Tom, Tom. Ohhhh man. I wish this picture was closer, but I’ll take what I can get.

Today we’re getting our first look at Tom Hardy as Mad Max. He’s just recently wrapped filming in South Africa, and we might have a wait before ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ finally hits the theaters.

A signed photo of Tom as Mad Max was posted to Ain’t It Cool News today, showing Tom in Max’s signature leathers in a desolate landscape, with what looks like a bandaged hand.

Fury Road stars Tom alongside an amazing cast that includes Charlize Theron, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Nicholas Hoult and Zoe Kravitz.

When Tom was asked about the movie at the Jack Reacher premiere, he said it would come out “next year, or the next… or the next” but that he was excited for people to see it:

“It was an amazing experience. It’s a big live action, fully articulated stunt piece which picks up where Mel Gibson’s Mad Max left off and takes it to the next level.”

I cannot WAIT. I am literally on the edge of my seat. Tom Hardy - and Charlize Theron? TOGETHER? What’s hotter than that? Even if it is a buzzed Charlize. This movie is going to kick ass. I’m calling it now.
