Earlier this month, the gorgeous Australian actress Teresa Palmer (looking very much like a young Naomi Watts) appeared at WonderCon 2010 in San Francisco to promote Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. But since she was surrounded by hordes of genre press, she was of course asked about another, decidedly more grown-up project she’s been all but confirmed for – director George Miller’s long-awaited fourth Mad Max film, Fury Road. Naturally, she said she couldn’t talk about the project. Before WonderCon, however, I had the good fortune to catch up with Palmer at another press event for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, where I asked her about Miller’s film. She could not confirm her involvement, but someone else associated with the Disney film could. Find out what they had to say after the jump.

First, I tried asking Palmer herself if she could say anything about the film. “I wish I could,” she replied. “I can’t talk about, literally, anything. I can say ‘Mad Max’ [but] that’s about it. I’m not allowed to say anything about it. I can’t even say whether I am or am not doing the movie.”

Sorcerer’s Apprentice director Jon Turteltaub, however, was not so tight-lipped when I spoke with him immediately after talking to Palmer.

“She’s doing Mad Max next,” he told me.

Remember when Warner Bros. was planning a live-action Justice League movie that put Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Flash on the same screen? With so much happening in the DC and the Marvel movie-verses the last few years, it’s easy to forget about the film, which was scheduled to hit theaters in 2008 before stalling out. However, that doesn’t mean we’re not intrigued by what might have been.

When MTV News caught up with Sorcerer’s Apprentice actress Teresa Palmer recently, she said she hoped to still play Talia Al Ghul at some point, and confirmed an old rumor that co-star Jay Baruchel was cast in the film as the main villain, Maxwell Lord.

“Jay and I were both attached to do that movie, The Justice League of America,” said Palmer. “I was Talia Al Ghul, he was Maxwell Lord.”

Here’s another cute interview with Miss Palmer from WonderCon, courtesy of Latino Review. See Teresa discuss her “tough chick” character in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

“The good thing about Becky is that she starts to fall for Maxim before she knows about the sorcery so that’s just this added bonus!” – Teresa Palmer

Teresa Palmer didn’t get to do a lot of stunts in the fantasy adventure film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but the one she did attempt made her face one of her biggest fears. At WonderCon, Palmer talked about the movie and working with Nicholas Cage. Click here to view the video!

I’ve uploaded a bunch of videos from WonderCon 2010 to our Video Vault so get ready to grab a coke, sit back and enjoy some lovely interviews with Tezza!

So, Ms. Palmer, are you in the new Mad Max, as was widely reported and initially revealed by your The Sorcerer’s Apprentice co-star Jay Baruchel in an apparent slip of the lip?

“I may or may not be!”

Well, that settles it. You are. Actually, it’s your face that settles it, but let’s not get caught up in the details. Look, I didn’t make a living as a poker player cause I can’t read people’s body language.

“It’s just a rumor, I can’t talk about it. I’ve been told not to,” Palmer added with a huge smile. Told not to talk by whom, one might ask. Mad Max creator George Miller?

“[But] It WOULD be pretty cool. Pretty damn cool. I WOULD be psyched.”
