[Padron1926]

They have a lot more of the mythos done now even going up to 4th age spawn.
They could actually build up the past spawns, the mythos properly now, and culminate with maybe a initial defeat of the violator, but not his death. Work up to Spawn going at Satan, going at angels, going at god and etc.

Might be able to stretch it out 4 movies if they can get a good director.
I think Del Toro would be perfect for it.

Todd said he wanted to direct it himself

its time

1). Todd McFarlane has been saying the EXACT same thing word for word for the past 15 or so years about the Spawn reboot movie, all the way down to Spawn being the "Ghost who lurks just out of view."

2). Having a movie called Spawn....without SPAWN front and center is stupid as all fukk. He's got the best story, costume, and power set of any character in that franchise...because..you know...he's the MAIN GODDAMN CHARACTER. Nobody gives two fukks about the two detectives or any other past or future spinoff characters.

3). McFarlane is high key when it comes to the character. He's tried his best to replace Al with another Spawn and nobody gave a fukk. I bet you anything if he could go back and introduce the character as a Cac he would

well if mary jane can be black cant spawn be white all comic book characters matter

Yeah unless its animated no one in hell would put money up to let this man direct this shyt

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

In the words of eminem "let it go dog, it's over "

 

[Red Shield]

Oh he realized that white folks were when the studio forced him to make Terry a white guy becuz theywere afraid that Spawn would appear to be a "black movie"

He talked about in in sum commentary

I forgot all about them make dude white in the movie

Exactly lol

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

It's the perfect time for a new Spawn movie.

I recently rewatched the animated series (It's on Amazon prime)...good stuff.

I'm not feeling this idea of Al Simmons not being the main character. Sam and Twitch are cool but naw...Spawn should be about...SPAWN!

I'm not really bothered either way....as others have stated, he's been saying this for like 15 years.

make it a larger universe with the maxx

I'm not a comic head so I may be wrong, but doesn't he share a universe with Witchblade and The Darkness?

I think so, and savage dragon, I'm not sure either. I'm not familiar with those as much but witchblade is dope.


After reading the thread, i think McFarlane created Haunt w/ Kirkman as a white spawn/ revamp

 

[Red Shield]

Thought Haunt was the spider-man rip off

TODD MCFARLANE CONFIRMS A NEW SPAWN MOVIE IS IN THE WORKS

When he first made his debut in 1992, Todd McFarlane’s Spawn quickly became one of, if not the, most popular superheroes of that decade. In fact, the Image Comics mainstay is also one of the few heroes not named Batman to get a movie adaptation during the ’90s.

The superhero explosion of the last few years, combined with the knack for studios to reboot everything, meant it was only a matter of time before Al Simmons made his return to the big screen. Now, it appears we are one step closer to that reality.

In an interview with Tiffany Smith on AMC’s Geeking Out (via ComicBook.com), McFarlane himself revealed that he is almost done writing the new film. “I’ve finished the script, and I’m in the process of editing. It’s 183 pages, and [producers] usually like 120. I still think it’s going to end up being about 140 because I’m putting in details for myself,” he said. Considering that most superhero movies run well over two hours nowadays, I am not surprised.

Also interesting is how different this version of the movie seems like it will be from the 1997 film. According to McFarlane, you will barely see Spawn throughout the film. He will be more like a ghost rather than a full-on superhero in a rubber suit. McFarlane compared this version of the antihero to Spielberg’s Jaws, where he will always have a presence, but will only be visible for a short time.

As a fan of the early days of the comic, I am looking forward to seeing this darker version, as the ’90s film seemed to be going more for a “Batman vibe” rather than match the tone of the source material. Seeing McFarlane’s true vision come to life will for sure be something to check out.

So what do you think? Are you excited to see Spawn come back to theaters? Do you feel this character’s time has passed? Let me know on Twitter or sound off in the comments below.
