I don't doubt that, but it's hardly the trajectory his stans were hoping for. He certainly is far lower on the totem pole than Charlize. Alot of these Adam Driver roles could have been poached. I object to calling Hardy a star, though. He's never really had the impact to warrant that designation. The star system isn't what it used to be. If you are carrying a successful comic book movie franchise these days, you are a "star", even if people aren't running to the theatres to see you carry anything else. Jason Momoa is a "star". Gal Gadot is a "star". Are they stars carrying other films outside their franchise? Not as of yet, but it doesn't matter to the industry right now. They will take what that can get. By that same designation, Tom Hardy is a "star". Yes, he isn't a "star" of the Leo or Hanks or even Mark Wahlberg level, but in the current Hollywood ecosystem, he's a bankable commodity because of Venom. Therefore, a "star". I'd agree that if anyone had dreams of him being perceived as the Greatest Actor Of his generation or whatever based on his early acclaim, that no longer seems on the cards with his current trajectory. But Hardy himself may be happy cashing his Sony/Marvel checks for Venom films and appearances and still having the clout to get projects he produces himself made. I still think the traditional star model or something close to it has got to make a comeback at some point. Chalamet and Zendaya are both on this borderline trajectory.

I still think the traditional star model or something close to it has got to make a comeback at some point. Chalamet and Zendaya are both on this borderline trajectory. Zendaya, I'd agree is clearly on that trajectory (and I'd say much of it is down to the succes of her TV work, from her Disney Channel days to Euphoria). She's built the kind of following few stars her age have. But that comes with her being almost like a 15 year showbiz veteran because of her child star status on Disney sitcoms and films. Her rise is very organic. A lot of her fans have grown up with her. By comparison, Chalamet seems more like someone "new" that Hollywood is trying to make happen artificially, but there is really nothing yet to suggest he has any "butts in seats" starpower or will develop it anytime soon. He's a tabloid "star", like Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart. They are just doing with Chalamet what they do with any other young "star"...put them in recognisable IP's ( Dune, Willy Wonka) and hope audiences give him some of the credit for being in them. It's the current formula for stardom in Hollywood.

Seriously, Academy, you fucked up in 2015 but you have a chance to make it right to Dr. George.

disappointing trailer. CGI looks quite bad and the epic tone in Fury Road's marketing is definitely missing here. Really hope this isn't another Hobbit situation. Fury Road was a once-in-a-lifetime project and it's absolutely insane that Miller got it made.

I do hope they'll cover how Furiosa's eyes shrunk so much between this and Fury Road.

I think it looks awesome and very much of a piece with Fury Road. Yes, with a little milkier CGI backgrounds in a couple of spots but so what? I was more cautious about the color palette when John Seale was replaced with Simon Duggan (who I ain't diggin' all that much) but from the looks of it Miller has kept his vision intact. The visual motif of the first one was rust & blue, this time it seems to be rust & oil. Which I love!

I have conflicting thoughts about Anya as Furiosa but the action seems pretty good.

More like... Anya Taylor-Joyless amarite?
On the other hand, this could be Thor's best role yet.

Ah fuck, I need new pants.
Righteous usage of “The Man Who Sold the World." The VFX look much better in this trailer. Dr. George is coming.

How blessed are we to receive sequels to two Warner Bros 6-time Oscar winning desert-set blockbusters in the same year. This is gonna be such a damn blast.
