Dredd 2 (2012)

Dredd 2 is an unmade sequel to the 2012 film starring Karl Urban as Judge Dredd, a comic character created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra in 1977. Despite Dredd underperforming at the box office and suffering from poor marketing, the home release of Dredd led to discussions of a sequel. However, instead of a movie that would have delved into the origins of Dredd and Mega City One, a TV show titled Judge Dredd: Mega-City One was greenlit instead of a sequel.
