Glen Powell is arguably the heavy rising action champion at the moment , with the persona to match the stars of many classic action movies . Most upcoming activeness picture are plausibly at least considering him for a purpose . Powell was launch to widespread fame as the unexampled Iceman - type character inTop Gun : Maverick , who is at odds with Maverick and Rooster ; Hangman is cocky but a skilled pilot and knows it .
Powell ’s most well - known role all have some component of comedy , and the part are generally more sociable than fans know Max Rockatansky to be . However , Powell has a swell on - screen bearing as an natural process starthat balances out the charisma needed to carry such a function and an overall feeling of competence in ( fictional ) dangerous situations . to boot , Powell has far too much general acting experience to assume that he can not present Max ’s typically brooding part .
9Regé-Jean Page
Known For Bridgerton (2020-Present) & Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Regé - Jean Page proved with his breakout use inBridgertonthat he will be the primary decimal point of focal point in any shot that he is in . He plays part who seem like they know everything and adapt speedily . Page really should be cast in more role that would admit him to further develop the character archetype he is familiar withoutside the comparatively safe and pleasing globe of the ton . Immediately afterBridgertonseason 1 , he advance a role in the mainstream action movieDungeons & Dragons : purity Among Thieves .
If he can pull Simon ’s jaded attitude and Xenk ’s attainment in armed combat together , Page could be a majuscule Mad Max star .
However , Dungeons & Dragonsis still a very comedic action movie when Page should be rove in something more serious . If he can attract Simon ’s wearied attitude and Xenk ’s skill in armed combat together , Page could be a greatMad Maxstar . By take certain trait from his retiring roles , it is easy to imagine Page behind the wheel in Miller ’s next road war sequence .
8Harry Richardson
Known For Dunkirk (2017), Poldark (2015-2019), & The Gilded Age (2022-Present)

Since then , Richardson has star in several other menses drama . His fictitious character inPoldarkandDoctor Thorneare also catch up in star - crossed romances but demonstrate his power to play complex , paying attention people . Richardson is not the most obvious selection forMad Max , but could bring a strategical , contemplative nature to the characterwhile making use of his long - off action experience .
7Sean Teale
Known For Little Voice (2020) & Rosaline (2022)
Sean Teale plays something like aMad Maxcharacter inRosaline : an apathetic venturer ( driving substituted with an interest in glide ) with a moral computer code that pulls him into the main storyline . Dario is a lot more confirming than Max by virtue of being a character in a goofy Shakespearean spoof rom - com , but Teale could adjust his approach . He has experience play character in much more intense adventures fromIncorporatedandReign .
Teale simply has an easygoing on - screen front that would mould well for Max . Assuming that his tragic backstory from the first film is still in place , Max is an untethered character reference , who wonder from one adventure to the next , on occasion doling out vigilante Justice Department . It might be a challenge for Teale to delve into the darker panorama of the character and the globe , but could be to the benefit of the movie .
6Jake Austin Walker
Known For National Treasure: Edge Of History (2022-2023)
Jake Austin Walker also brings a carefree , everyman personality to his charactersthat is fundamentally the basis of Max . Max might have become a larger - than - life figure in the Wasteland since his origin , but still fall across as a regular , if extremely skilled , person who is just taking it one day at a metre .

Walker’sNational Treasurecharacter Liam want to focus on his medicine and his own life instead of getting trance up in his granddad ’s treasure - hunt habits . However , he is rip into the adventure after find some coarse reason with Jess . After this , Liam is practical and downplayed .

Black Sailsis a gritty and violent show , and Silver is a fictional character who can survive in its setting . When he is first ( re)introduced , Silver is an seemingly harmless captive from a raid , but before long shows his power to spin tales and deceive his way to exponent .
delirious Max ’s generally self - contained format means that Max would probably be a much less complicated character for Arnold after Silver .
The years that follow show Silver entangled in pregnant power struggles and perfidy , becoming more ruthless as his alliance with Captain Flint deteriorates . Arnold has all the tools he need to play a familiar version of Max , who is always walking the line between prioritizing his own survival of the fittest and being forced by the narrative to help others . Quite frankly , Mad Max’sgenerally ego - check data formatting mean that Max would probably be a much less complicated character for Arnold after Silver .
4Jensen Ackles
Known For Supernatural (2005-2020)

SinceThe Winchestersfailed , Ackles ' life history has stagnate . He provided the representative of Batman forJustice League : Crisis on Infinite Earthsand appeared in single episodes ofGen VandTracker . However , Ackles is also a talented actor who could storm audience if given the chanceto play someone other than the exclusive character he is primarily know for . TheMad Maxfranchise has been known to make obscure casting option — such as the comparatively obscure Tom Burke as theMad Max parallel character Praetorian Jack — and Miller might be willing to take a prospect on someone like Ackles .
3Paul Mescal
Known For Aftersun (2022), Foe (2023), & All Of Us Strangers (2023)
Paul Mescal is another rising star whom throw directors are in all probability considering for almost anything . His Oscar - name execution inAftersunbrought attention to his talent , while his role inFoeandAll of Us Strangersshowed some more genre variety . It has been well - give that he can present the insidious striking nuances of Max ’s case . Max does not talk about his past much ; it is down to the player act him to transmit how much is going on in his head .
The only affair left Mescal needs on his curriculum vitae is some action experience . fortuitously , he is slate as the wiz of the upcomingGladiator 2.Many await that the extremely - anticipated sequel stack with A - listers will illustrate Mescal ’s ability to lead an epic military action escapade story , fill with both psychological complexity and show - stopping battles .

However , Interview with the Vampireis the prop that only recently put Reid in the spot and express the extent of his natural endowment . Lestat is a character with much more style than Max , but he showcases Reid ’s charisma and dominance on - screenland . After this monumental role , Miller and the relaxation of theMad Maxteam can be certain that Reid can limn Max ’s moral dilemma and preponderant desire to survive .

Boyega was a strong plus to theStar Warsuniverse and his performance remained ordered , but it was overshadowed by the problems with the sequel trilogy ’s story . It robbed Boyega of the chance to really show Finn becoming a more complex role .
Boyega is a substantial , well - rounded action starwho has the potential to run many different successful blockbusters . Him star inMad Maxcould finish whatStar Warsstarted . Boyega has had the chance to depict a virtuously troubled fictional character who just wants to survive , and some chance to show that character becoming more worldly .
