3. Nicholas Hoult Plays 'Nux'

In a film where really only Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron will be recognizable to international audiences, Nicholas Hoult is probably the biggest name to appear outside of the two. Hoult plays Nux, a devotee of Immortan Joe. Nux has been referred to as Immortan Joe's henchman/right hand man, and at least at one point in the film, he has Max in his possession, captured and tied to the front of his car. Relatively unknown just a few years ago, Hoult hit the big time as the young Hank McCoy/Beast in X-Men: First Class and Days of Future Past. He also starred in the zombie romance Warm Bodies.
