While the spotlight was on forthcoming DC and Marvel based superhero films, arguably the most talked about presentation at Comic Con yesterday was Warner Bros forthcoming Mad Max: Fury Road.

The first film in the Mad Max franchise in nearly 30 years, Mel Gibson has been replaced by Tom Hardy (Inception), and a shortened version of the footage screened for con goers has been officially released.

In a word, this footage is incredibly badass. From insane car racing action to a post-apocalyptic Charlize Theron, Mad Max: Fury Road has something for everyone, and has now become one of my most anticipated films of Summer 2015.

Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters on May 15, 2015.
