Believe it or not, it was way back in 2017 when we first learned of Todd McFarlane's plans to team with Blumhouse for a new R-Rated Spawn movie.
Spider-Man: No Way Home star Jamie Foxx boarded the movie in 2018, with Hawkeye's Jeremy Renner tapped to play Twitch Williams later that same year.

He's talked about redesigning the hero, possibly selling the reboot to a streaming service, issues with the screenplay, and even enlisted new writers in Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Captain America: New World Order) and up-and-coming scribe Matthew Mixon.

However, McFarlane isn’t looking just to rush any type of script out there and wants to make sure that it’s perfect first. The fact that Joker writer Scott Silver, Malcolm Spellman, and Matthew Mixon (Yesterday Was Everything) were hired to write a
