The character made his big-screen debut in 1995’s big-budget flop “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester Stallone. Judge Dredd appeared again in 2012’s Karl Urban-led reboot, “Dredd,” which also misfired at the box office despite decent reviews. He has also appeared in multiple video game adaptations.

According to THR, Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi (a self-professed Dredd-head) is signed on to direct the new Judge Dredd film. But in a total monkey's paw moment for Dredd fans, it seems that star Karl Urban may be out in favor of a total reboot.
