It was 25 years ago today that a live-action adaptation of Spawn—which is one of my favorite series by Image Comics—was released in theaters nationwide.
While Spawn is one of the first titles that I collected when I started buying comic books back in 1993 (I was in 7th grade at the time), I actually wished the movie would've been a lot better. Spawn is an R-rated antihero on paper (with his archnemesis, Violator, known to rip the hearts out of people's chests left and right in the comic books), and to make the film itself PG-13 was a huge disservice to this awesome character.
Todd McFarlane, the creator of Spawn, is supposedly planning to direct his own cinematic version of this demonic protagonist. The thing is, he made the announcement that he was going to helm this reboot back in 2015 (with Jamie Foxx and Jeremy Renner starring in the movie)...and so far there has been scant news about this project. Of course, the pandemic should be partly to blame for this.
According to this article, McFarlane will reveal big news about his Spawn film at New York Comic Con...which will be held on October 6-9. We'll see what happens!
