Looks like ol’ Stoney Face likes a cup o’ Joe Dredd in the morning, so that must be some potent brew he’ll be needing before he hits the streets of Mega City One.

Karl Urban is indeed a fan of the comic himself and the 2000AD publication is celebrating 40 years of its existence in print.
He had even expressed on Twitter on moving forward with a sequel by including Netflix and Amazon in his message.
