Just over a week ago word leaked out that Teresa Palmer might be in George Miller’s upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road. That wasn’t a huge surprise, as Miller had cast Palmer as Talia Ghul in his aborted Justice League movie. Now we’ve got confirmation that Palmer is in fact part of the Mad Max cast, along with another rumored actor, Nicholas Hoult. Zoe Kravitz and Adelaide Clemens also just joined the actioner.

The movie is set a short while after the story detailed in 1985′s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, which keeps Mad Max, the character originated by Mel Gibson, relatively young.

Details are being kept quiet, but it is known that Hoult’s character is named Nux. Kravitz, whose character’s name is Five Wives, Palmer and Clemens are in a convoy being chased by bad guys.

Then there is the comment made by Jay Baruchel when he leaked Palmer’s involvement. He said that Palmer would be playing “the main chick” in the film. That could leave Theron as a villain (shades of Tina Turner’s Beyond Thunderdome character) or he could simply be hopeful about her prominence in the script. Theron could also have dropped out; we’ll let you know as soon as any of those possibilities is confirmed.
