After discussing the possibility of the project in recent months, Todd McFarlane has officially confirmed a new Spawn movie is in development and that he will be on to direct.
McFarlane, the creator of Spawn, made the announcement via his Facebook page while at San Diego Comic-Con following a panel with director Kevin Smith. The film will be produced by Jason Blum and Blumhouse Productions, the studio behind recent hits like Get Out, Split, and the Paranormal Activity franchise.
McFarlane wrote the script for the movie, as he mentioned last year when discussing the then-prospective film, which will be his directorial debut. No other details, including cast or release date, have yet been announced.
Last year, McFarlane said the film would not be a continuation of the 1997 film but instead be a fresh take that has "a dark, R-rated, scary, badass sort of script."
IGN's Up at Noon Live took a look last year at why the time is now right for a Spawn reboot.
Spawn first debuted in 1992 via the eponymous Image Comics series, which introduced Al Simmons, whose soul was sent to Hell after being killed. There, he makes a deal, in exchange for his soul, to return to Earth and see his wife, but he returns as the titular demonic being Spawn.
