Don't expect the Hellspawn to look"comic book-ish" in Todd McFarlane's Spawn, the long-in-the-works adaptation of the creator's Image comic book. The famed comic book artist and writer — who exclusively told ComicBook he's likely to step back from directing the Blumhouse reboot — is redeveloping the feature after hiring the writers of DC's Joker and Marvel's Captain America: New World Order.
But as the trio of Scott Silver, Malcolm Spellman, and Matt Mixon write a new script for what McFarlane developed as his feature directorial debut, there's not yet a finalized design for Foxx's demon spawn. It will be the first live-action version of Spawn since Michael Jai White played the character in the Mark A.Z. Dippé-directed adaptation in 1997.
Produced by McFarlane and Jason Blum of Blumhouse , McFarlane has long referred to his live-action adaptation as a"supernatural thriller" that Foxx compared to 2019's R-rated Joker.
