McFarlane told AZCentral that Spawn‘s “R” rating will be hard-earned in ways no other comic book film has ever seen before.
According to Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, the title character won’t actually speak in the comic book movie reboot that McFarlane is developing – and will be to the film what the shark was to the original Jaws.
McFarlane revealed the reboot is still in its infancy, with the team only just now signing off on the script.
Despite all the ambiguity shrouding the film, McFarlane promises that it will be rated “R” and for good reason.
