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.

Joker Gets One Final Trailer

Director Todd Phillips‘ Joker centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.

Three-time Oscar nominee Phoenix stars in the titular role alongside Oscar winner Robert De Niro as Franklin. The film also stars Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, Bill Camp, Glenn Fleshler, Shea Whigham, Brett Cullen, Douglas Hodge, and Josh Pais.

Oscar nominee Phillips directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Oscar-nominated writer Scott Silver, based on characters from DC.

Joker comes to theaters nationwide October 4, 2019.
