Part 6/9:
Carl Urban’s portrayal of Judge Dread remains the benchmark for many fans. Now in his early 50s, questions arise about who could convincingly step into the iconic role. Suggestions range from Austin Butler—though he's perceived as a "pretty boy"—to other action-heavy actors with a more paternal, stern demeanor.
The ideal Dread, fans argue, should be around 40+, embodying authority, physicality, and an intimidating presence. As Urban ages, there's an increasing sense that the "window" for casting someone similar is closing.
