No 'Mad' Mel Cameo

"Nope. I've got nothing to do with it. [Director] George [Miller], he's filming in Namibia or something," he told the site. But don't take that to mean a little pop-up spot couldn't be squeezed in if all the players came to an agreement.

"It would be fun to fly to Namibia and be a snake in the background or something," Gibson said. "I think it's going to be great. George is a genius."

Maybe smart enough to know that keeping Gibson out of the picture is in the reboot's best interest?
