The Detroit policeman (or ‘cop’) who is killed by criminals and brought back as a cyborg (or ‘robot’). Inspired by Judge Dredd, only the bottom half of his face is visible under his helmet. The franchise is famed for its over-the-top violence, Christ allegories and satire of corporations and mass media.
RoboCop (1987): The original and best, this is the installment where Murphy becomes RoboCop, a van drives through a person, the dad from That ‘70s Showswears a lot, Miguel Ferrer does loads of coca...RoboCop: The Animated Series (1988):Quite a few films from the ‘80s that absolutely weren’t suitable for children but were suitable for toy manufacturers had animated spin-offs. This was set in the...RoboCop 2 (1989): Despite being directed by The Empire Strikes Back’s Irwin Kershner, this one is a mixed bag, but deserves credit for one of the characters, the baddie, actually being named ‘Roboc...RoboCop 3 (1993):RoboCop is played by someone else in this one, co-written by Sin Citycreator Frank Miller.

He told Barbados’ Zeitgeist Magazine: “It’s nice that people are still interested in RoboCop. They have me working on a new one at MGM right now so maybe we’ll get another one out of it.”
Neumeier continued: “We’re not supposed to say too much. There’s been a bunch of other RoboCop movies and there was recently a remake, and I would say this would be kind of going back to the old RoboCopwe all love and starting there and going forward. So it’s a continuation really of the first movie. In my mind. So it’s a little bit more of the old...
Setting it 30 years later would seem to make sense, showing how the crime-addled Detroit of the original has deteriorated. If they could get Peter Weller back in the armour, that could be pretty awesome - his Wikipedia picturemakes him look like the friendliest man in the world so he’d almost certainly say yes. They’d have to explain how, despite b...

It is fair to assume it will act as both a sequel and a soft reboot for modern audiences that are not familiar with the property. Here’s hoping the project will stay on the studio’s radar and we can get a brand new RoboCop movie in the near future.
This movie will be a direct sequel of RoboCop (1987) that ignores RoboCop 2 (1990) and RoboCop 3 (1993), as well as the remake RoboCop (2014).
