Writer-director Todd McFarlane recently teases his upcoming live-action R-rated Spawn reboot with Jeremy Renner as Twitch and Jamie Foxx as Spawn will finally happen this year. And today he says that some upcoming news will blow up the Internet.
McFarlane tells ComicBook.com: “A month ago, I had a big fish. I just about got him on deck, right? It was the one that some people misheard and said I lost Jamie, it was like no an addition, an addition. But we lost him and those are always frustrating because whenever you got the fish out of the water, pull them up on deck and the line breaks. We got an offer out to, I think, a bigger fish. So, there weren’t too many bigger than the first guy, but anyway, we’ll see. If I could’ve got the last guy, it would’ve been a home run. If I can get this guy, it will be a grand slam.”
He adds: “This one will blow up the Internet.”

Rated PG-13 or violence and crude humor, the 1997 version centered on a covert government assassin Al Simmons (Michael Jai White) who is killed after being double-crossed by his boss, Jason Wynn (Martin Sheen). Upon arriving in Hell, Simmons is offered an opportunity to return to Earth if he’s willing to lead an evil army. He accepts and is reincarnated as a “Hellspawn” — a twisted, horribly disfigured version of his former self. However, Spawn serves as a force of good, much to the dismay of the Devil’s henchman, a wicked clown (John Leguizamo).

It sports an 18% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Spawn is an overbearing, over-violent film that adds little to the comic book adaptation genre.
