Todd McFarlane Teases ‘Badass’ & ‘Scary’ Spawn Reboot (Jamie Foxx cast)

[Legal]

NO ONE IS GONNA FINANCE A SUPERHERO MOVIE WHERE THE HERO IS BARELY IN IT!!!!!

Todd wtf is wrong with u

Ultimately yeah, it's this.

I think what McFarlane might not be getting is that making a story about a superhero (or super antihero I suppose, in this case) creates different kinds of marketing requirements, since there are more than enough superhero movies out there now.

Asking a company to lay down even a modest budget in something that they effectively won't be able to market due to the main hero effectively not being the main character is asking a LOT.

Even if you look at it as a horror movie, you're basically saying that it's a horror movie where the monster is not only technically the protagonist, but also someone you're supposed to root and feel sympathy for in a non ironic sense.

That's way too many barriers to put up for a movie that would be rebooting a franchise that wasn't a huge success in the first place.

Pretty sad.

 

[Jazzy B.]

This will be what Venom should have been

 

[BlackMajik]

Crazy how this has a better chance of being great than the MCU Blade movie

Blumhouse going to make something happen one way or another

Hopefully they only tweak his script. Spawn's comics have been on fire the past 7 or so years. He knows his character.

Also i think his initial idea works for Spawn. In the best horror films, the focus character/creature barely had screentime. However, instead of solely Sam & Twitch, I'd make it from the primary perspective of Wanda or Cyan, with Sam & Twitch supporting.

Fans want Spawn though a sequel series with Sam n Twitch sure but not SPAWN

First off, no shade, legitimately hope all parties get better and return to as much of a normal quality of life as possible. Having said all of this…

Remember that both Jamie Foxx AND Jeremy Renner were/are attached to this Spawn reboot

McFarlane can’t catch a break for shyt
