Hardy also revealed that he is set to star in three more films in the franchise but nothing can be said with absolute surety. "Everything's based on figures and how things are perceived. Inevitably it's a business," he said.

The actor spoke about filming in a barren desert and the various difficulties they faced durng the shoot, on account of the location.

"We were in the middle of nowhere," he said, "so far away from the studio system that [Warner Bros] can't really see what's going on, and just getting things to and from the set was a nightmare. We'd lose half a vehicle in sand and have to dig it out. It was just this unit in the middle of x-million square-kilometres of desert, and then this group of lunatics in leathers, like a really weird S&M party, or a Hell's Angels convention. It was like Cirque du Soleil meets fucking Slipknot."

The movie has been directed by George Miller and also stars Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa and Nicholas Hoult as Nux.

Mad Max Fury Road will hit theaters on May 15.
