I'm still hoping he'll reprise his role as Dredd.

In his first outing, the worldbuild was good, his portrayal was spot-on. The story, sure, had its ups and downs. But, in the end, it's a pretty solid comic-book action flick. Better than a lot of the dreck we've seen.

If he's playing Johnny Cage at 53, he could still be Dredd at 60.

I thought the Dredd remake was really good and I normally do not like American comic book movies. I would even argue the remake felt a bit more realistic than the original (which was decent, but not great).

Dredd isn't an American comic book.

Huh! UK-based. TIL. Also Reliance Entertainment, the company that produced the 2012 movie, is based in India.

TIL, perhaps that's why I did enjoy both versions (with the remake being better IMO).
