Spawn

Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has delivered an update on the new Spawn film being worked on. The new film through Blumhouse will now feature Joker’s Scott Silver, Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Malcolm Spellman, and Matt Mixon on the script.

The movie has been in development since 2017 and Jamie Foxx is attached to star as the antihero. Jeremy Renner was also attached to the film but his involvement is currently unknown.

McFarlane wrote the previous draft of the script and was thinking of directing the film but has acknowledged he might not be the best person to direct.

Based on the comic series by McFarlane and published by Image Comics, Spawn is a former black-ops agent who makes a deal with a demon after being betrayed and killed. He returns to Earth, but five years have passed, his wife has moved, and he’s now a disfigured spawn of hell.

McFarlane expects his next update on the film won’t be until 2023.
