Spawn fans have been hearing about the reboot of Todd McFarlane’s comic property for years now, and perhaps the most surprising thing is that the Spider-Man: No Way Home star Jamie Foxx has been attached to the movie for the past four years. Speaking with ComicBook.com at New York Comic Con, McFarlane opened up about the latest news from the movie (he’s just hired two new writers to rework the script) but also confirmed that Foxx is still playing the title hero in the reboot, in fact inviting him all the time around Project start.
“I know that in all of my conversations with Jimmy, he never hesitates to be in that movie, in fact, on the contrary, he leaves me messages all the time like ‘Let’s go man, come man. “The moments here are upon us,” MacFarlane said to Brandon Davis of ComicBook.com. “We’ve been talking about this being a complicated movie, right? I mean, I’ve been on stage, I’m going to write, produce, direct, and there it is. I’ve been pushing that on Jimmy and he’s kind of in this world.”
MacFarlane also spoke about adding Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Captain America: New World Order), and rookie screenwriter Matthew Mixon to the creative team, noting their intentions for the film and its serious take on Spawn material.
Todd added, “The writers want to do something different. Leave it at that, they don’t want to repeat (what anyone did).” “Nobody wants to do a $200 million special effects strategy, that’s not what Spawn is for any of us. So we want to do something that’s obviously fun to look at, but, hopefully, leaves you with something that when you’re walking away you can go, “Wow, that was a little deeper than I thought it would be.” We’ll see, we’ll see if we can, the goal is to start a franchise. Not a Spawn movie, start a series so we have a lot of movies coming after it that will eventually expand Spawn Con.”
