UPDATE #1: Clarke twittered that he's not in Fury Road. Looks like BleedingCools' "couple of sources" suck.

It appears another Brit has been cast in this Aussie movie.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/10/05/ ... fury-road/SCOOP: Mad Max Story Number Two – Noel Clarke On The Fury Road
Submitted by Brendon Connelly on October 5, 2010 – 3:46 pm
I’ve checked this out with a couple of sources now, and they agree: Mad Max director George Miller has put Noel Clarke in line for a trip down his Fury Road.
The 3D Mad Max sequels – there’s going to be two, likely to be filmed less back-to-back, more higgled-and-piggled-up – will be finally going into production next year. All things being well, Noel Clarke will be along for the ride.
Clarke, if you don’t know him, came to mainstream popularity in the UK after playing a sidekick role on Doctor Who then became a multi-hyphenate one man brand on the British film scene. Just this week, Bleeding Cool spoke to him about his recent exploitation picture 4.3.2.1 and his upcoming comic book project.
The rest of the Fury Road cast include:
Tom Hardy as Max
Charlize Theron (and Annabelle Williams) as Furiosa*
Zoe Kravitz as Five Wives or as one of five wives
Adelaide Clemens as, perhaps, one of five wives
Nicholas Hoult as… someone?
After being linked to the project for some time, Teresa Palmer never finally signed on. It looks like slipping and sliding schedules were to blame. And Riley Keough may have signed on by now, but she hadn’t, quite, the last time this was a buzz topic.
