When McFarlane offered an update on the project last year, he had shared that everyone had yet to agree on the same script.
His Hellspawn powers allow him to teleport, shapeshift, and utilize a variety of weapons (notably chains) in combat.
Spawn previously made the leap to the big screen in 1997 with Michael Jai White in the title role and then on television as an HBO animated miniseries, titled Todd McFarlane’s Spawn.
First appearing in 1992’s Spawn #1, the character quickly became the symbol for 1990s’ comics dark and brutal antiheroes.
