Hottie Riley Keough joins the cast of George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

The road to the fourth MAD MAX movie has been a long and windy one, but writer/director George Miller seems persistent on getting it made. Many of the main roles have not been assigned just yet, though the great Tom Hardy will be playing the infamous Mad Max.

However, there has been new casting on the MAD MAX: FURY ROAD front, that of one smokin’ hottie known as Riley Keough aka Elvis Presley’s granddaughter. Not sure why the Presley relation matters, but die hard fans of the King of Rock and Roll might be interested. That, and when the film comes out, you can now amaze your friends and family with such scatterbrained trivia.

Keough is set to play one of the “Five Wives,” which are a group of women that Max has to protect against a band of ruthless criminals. The other “Five Wives” include Zoë Kravitz, Teresa Palmer, and Adelaide Clemens, which means… there’s just one wife left to cast (so keep it here for that breaking news as we hear it).

Besides milking her celebrity as a spawn of Elvis, the only other film she’s been in to date is alongside Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in THE RUNAWAYS, which just hit theaters / DVD earlier this year. So besides scoring in the looks department, it’s practically impossible to tell what kind of actress she is, but if Miller thought so much of her to hire here, then I’m guessing she’ll be able to pull this shit off.
