Jason Blum confirmed his participation at that year’s San Diego Comic Con, and a year later, two of the film’s crucial roles were cast: Jeremy Renner as Detective Maximilian Steven Percival “Twitch” Williams III, and Jamie Foxx as Al Simmons / Spawn himself.
While the project had been cooking with its creator for over a decade, Blumhouse Productions didn’t jump on until 2017.
Hardcore Todd McFarlane fans have been waiting for a proper, R-rated Spawn reboot for quite some time now.
Production is set to start in June 2019, after several early delays, and promises that this version of Spawn’s story would make children cry if they ever saw it.
