Mad Max may be roaring back onto the silver screen nearly 25 years after the third in the iconic series was released.

But Mel Gibson probably won't be taking part, according to a News Ltd report on Monday.

Shooting for new film is tipped to begin later this year, and scouting for locations has already started, the report said.

The first Mad Max movie set in an apocalyptic future in Australia and directed by George Miller shot a 21-year-old Mel Gibson to international stardom.

It was followed by Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior in the US) in 1981, then Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, co-starring Tina Turner, in 1985.
