THERE HAS BEEN much discussion over how feminist the new Mad Max Fury Road film is, with Charlize Theron playing the powerful Imperator Furiosa and providing the backbone of the entire movie.
Star of the movie, Tom Hardy, was at a press conference in Cannes when he was asked about the role of women in the dystopian film. The film has been dubbed feminist propaganda due to its many powerful female roles and perceived message of gender equality.
Here’s the exchange that happened between Hardy and Peter Howell from the Toronto Star in Canada.

Tom:
So, no.

Awkward.
