Jason Blum is adamant Spawn is coming.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite a series of ongoing setbacks, Blumhouse executive Jason Blum has doubled down on the planned 2025 release date for the Spawn reboot starring Jamie Foxx. Based on the supernatural comic book hero created by Todd McFarlane, plans for either a sequel or a big-screen reboot of the property have been languishing in development since the original 1997 movie adaptation with Michael Jai White.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Blum was adamant that audiences would finally get to see the new Spawn movie in 2025, despite the production’s long and troubled history. Blum’s newfound sense of certainty also comes despite additional concerns raised off the back of both the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike action and Foxx’s own personal health issues.
New Line’s original 1997 adaptation of McFarlane’s Spawn was no exception to this trend, and its own release owes much to an earlier comic book adaptation with a similar supernatural origin story, namely the 1994 cult hit The Crow. Strikingly, however, both Spawn and The Crow would go on to share much more in common than simply following the story of a supernaturally resurrected hero.
Now, with The Crow reboot finally looking to break free from its own troubled history and arrive in theaters sometime in 2024, it seems fitting that Spawn should follow suit and arrive one year later. In a cinematic landscape currently dominated by comic book properties from the industry's two biggest labels, with any luck, Spawn’s triumphant return to screens in 2025 will continue to sow the seeds for a return of other independent comic book movies to the big screen.
