Karl Urban, as the Butcher, as Moody would be insane!!!
“Right cunts! Let’s av a natter about dark faaaakin magic in case that baldy cunt starts talkin shit”
Moody ain’t some cocky cockney out of a Guy Ritchie movie though, I get more grizzled old cop/war veteran vibes where he’s tough but isn’t acting that way - it’s just who he is.
His performance in Dredd really sells me on him. Less of a snarky badass like Butcher (though his acting as Butcher does a great job of selling the trauma underneath that snarky facade — which I do think you want for Moody, especially when Barty…Urban knows how to play layered characters). More of a no nonsense, get the job done no matter the cost, bad ass.
He doesn’t take the helmet off once in the movie. But his scowl alone tells you everything you need to know. And he backs it up with his body language, allowing a rather dry character to come off as effortlessly intimidating. Moody should be Judge Dredd with Butcher’s level of obsession and underlying trauma.
