The synopsis for the new, Tom Hardy–starring remake of Mad Max has been released, and as you might expect from a franchise that once made Tina Turner play a role named Aunty Entity, there are some great, top-notch, utterly weird character names contained therein. Charlize Theron? Her character is named “Imperator Furiosa.” Other names include “Nux,” “Dag,” “Rictus Erectus,” “Miss Giddy,” “Slit,” and “Coma-Doof Warrior” (surely our new favorite). Also, there is this great sentence from the synopsis: “Collectively known as The Wives, Zoe Kravitz plays Toast, Riley Keough is Capable, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is Splendid.” Splendid, indeed!
