Todd McFarlane Announces New Writers For Upcoming SPAWN Film; Jamie Foxx Still Attached To Star

Fans have been patiently waiting for anything regarding a new Spawn film and today Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane, has some news regarding the upcoming flick we’ve all been eager for.

THR reports that Blumhouse is still on board the ship, with Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Matthew Mixon now writing the script.

Jeremy Renner had previously been attached to co-star alongside Jamie Foxx, but THR’s report indicates that Renner’s involvement in the film is up in the air at the moment.

It’s been a long hard road out of development hell with his brand new Spawn feature, which Todd McFarlane had originally planned to direct. That seems to not be the case any longer and a director has yet to be announced. At this time, the Blumhouse project is seeking a studio partner, so this is still a developing but we’ll let you know more as soon as we get it.

“If we’ve got an A-list actor, A-list producers, A-list writers, then do you want to shoot for A-list directors, A-list cinematographers?” McFarlane tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The answer is, ‘of course.’ Let’s keep the momentum going.”

“I grew up in Berkeley, which is a comic book city. Todd McFarlane’s Spawn character was always one of my favorites — a Black superhero that was no bullshit, he was cool and dealt with modern issues,” says Spellman in a statement. “Myself, Matt Mixon, and Scott Silver are pledged to honoring what Todd started and what Spawn is at its core, delivering something that’s relevant and edgy and unlike any other superhero movie out there.”
