The fifth installment of George Miller's "Mad Max" saga will explore the story before Tom Hardy's lone hero meets Charlize Theron's Furiosa, repoirted Aceshowbiz.
The prequel is reportedly in pre-production. It is expected to start shooting Down Under later this year.
It's unclear whether or not Miller will return for this prequel if the rumor is true.
He previously said that he would take a break from the "Mad Max" saga although it didn't necessarily mean that he wouldn't return for another movie because he still had "two more stories" to tell.
