According to THR the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, Riley Keough, is in talks to take on a role in the upcoming fourth Mad Max film, Mad Max: Fury Road. The movie is currently being developed by writer and director George Miller.

There isn’t a lot of information on what we can expect from this movie other than what we’ve seen from the world already created in past films. We do know that the story takes place shortly after the events in 1985′s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third film in the series. This will keep the character Mad Max relatively young.

Keough will play one of the “Five Wives,” a group of women that Hardy must protect from the bad guys. Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer and Adelaide Clemens are three of other wives. 

Keough will also join Tom Hardy (Inception), Charlize Theron, and Nicolas Hoult. The film is scheduled to start shooting early next year.

What are your thoughts on Keough joining the cast of Mad Max: Fury Road?
