March 22, 2022 Gal Gadot almost got the starring role.
Here is Charlize and Tom's very first casting meeting. They had a Skype call with George Miller that day so he could get a sense of their screen chemistry.

March 22, 2022 Nicholas Hoult was just 19 when he auditioned for FURY ROAD. George Miller was reluctant to even see him for the role of Nux because Hoult is 6 inches taller than Tom Hardy. But casting director Ronna Kress kept pushing for it. (He'd be 25 by the time the film came out.)
