Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - 11:02

After years of rumours, and a whole bunch of false starts, it looks like a Spawn reboot is finally happening. Better still, the casting is absolutely perfect, with Jamie Foxx set to take the starring role.

For those of you not up on your comic-books, Spawn is a human-turned-Hellspawn, who boasts a ton of super-powers, including super-strength, super-speed, teleportation, shapeshifting… you name it, he can probably do it. He last made a big-screen appearance back in 1997, when Michael Jai White was top of the bill, but the less said about that one, the better.

The new movie will be produced by Get Out’s Jason Blum, with Spawn’s original creator Todd McFarlane set to write and direct. McFarlane has previously suggested he’ll be pushing for an R-rating, so expect plenty of bloodshed in this one.

There’s no release date confirmed as yet, but going by the talent involved, we’re pretty excited for this one. Besides, anything that gives Foxx the chance to atone for Electro is alright by me…
