1997 saw Spawn hit the big screen for the first time with Mark A.Z. Dippé, otherwise best known now for the cinematic masterpiece Garfield’s Pet Force, as director. Things this time are going to take a slightly different tone.

Todd McFarlane, the original creator of the Spawn character, has written and will direct the film, claiming at a fan expo in 2019 that he’s already directed it “a thousand times” in his head.

He told ComicBook.com in 2017 that Spawn is going to be a very different comic book movie: there will be no villain he defeats, no gaudy fight scenes, instead Spawn himself will be the spectre haunting people. It’ll be more a horror than an action.

The character of Spawn himself has been known to wield a variety of weapons alongside his supernatural abilities as a hellspawn assassin, leaving loads of scope for different kinds of horror visuals. Good thing the film is rated R, because we know that means we can get our gore on.
