When he's not watching The Last Jedi again, he's looking for the best burger in town and the next movie that will become a fixation for him.
The Big Picture A Spawn movie has been in development for years, but things are finally moving forward when it comes to the making of the project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie currently titled King Spawn is looking for a director to helm the story. The script for the film has been completed, which means that Blumhouse can finally start looking for the filmmaker who will be tasked with the responsibility of bringing the comic book vigilante to life on the screen.
Created by Todd McFarlane, Spawn has been present on the pages of Image Comics for decades. A previous film adaptation that featured Michael Jai White as the titular character premiered decades ago. But ever since the landscape of superhero cinema changed with the arrival of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spawn hasn't had a chance to shine. Given how the new project has been in development for quite some time, Jamie Foxx was reportedly attached to King Spawn a while ago.
When it comes to the action seen in Image Comics, Spawn works as a vigilante with a mysterious backstory. After dying and being sent to hell, Al Simmons makes a deal with Malebolgia in order to get his life back. But that doesn't turn out as expected, with the character now forced to wander the Earth as an enigmatic force of dark magic. Whoever is chosen to direct the project produced by Jason Blum will have a big responsibility on their shoulders.
What's Next for Blumhouse? It will take some time for King Spawn to be completed, taking into account how the studio has begun looking for a director. In the meantime, Blumhouse is working on a wide variety of stories to keep fans entertained while they wait for Spawn's arrival. Sequels to The Black Phone, M3GAN and Five Nights at Freddy's are all currently scheduled to premiere in cinemas next year.
