He's the one who pursued the role so presumably he knows how to do it. MJW was actually a pretty good casting choice but the '97 movie was made by an effects guy and it shows. Most of the budget went for that and some of the story sequences were cut as a result.
Why?
Spawn is a relic of a forgotten comics era, the 90’s are the punchbag of comics creators in the pozzed era. McFarlene’s legacy has been downplayed to the point he is no longer relevant. Even Imagine has long moved on
Todd is edgy as frick, good or bad, a new Spawn is going to be destroyed by ~~*critics*~~ as long as he is associated with it
Yeah, that's the fate of kino these days. Still if old man Todd want to lose some money to make a movie as good as Dredd, I am all in. He di a kickstarter for a Spawn figure that made something like $5 millions in 3 days, you bet there is some people ready to watch this movie.

the truth is that such a movie could probably make some decent money but todd is very specific about who he allows to use the property
it took several years until the mortal kombat guys could convince him to lend the character for the game

>todd is very specific about who he allows to use the property
He is super autistic about his things, I lurk on /toy/ and man McFarlane shit is super specific and has direct input from Todd in everything, every figure, even the DC figures. There is a lot of love and hate, he is very difficult to work with. You bet that no matter what kind of movie comes out will have some very weird shit, some good and some bad, all personally approved by Todd.

he's unorthodox yeah
the spawn concept basically started off as an inverse of the typical superhero formula, he wanted to make something completely different from superman/spider-man which were the popular character at the time
Not saying i would or do, but if i was going to watch another reboot of something i would like the actors to be chosen for their roles in it a little more thoughtfully.
Jamie foxx will not be able to portray al simmons just because he did a soldier movie years ago and his wanda impressions arent going to help him when he is playing spawn.
The physical role, sure, but he's never had a cool intimidating voice whereas Jai White and Keith David did which is arguably the most important thing.
If he wants, yeah. When this guy stop playing himself and decides to be the character he is quite the actor, but I must say MJW is fricking goat, also Keith David in the cartoon. That's quite a legacy to follow.
I remember Todd saying they want to focus on Sam & Twitchy solving crimes and hearing about this boogieman called Spawn, that leaves a trail of bodies. He said would be a mix of Se7en and Candyman. Ngl it's a good concept and can work very well.
>Michael Mann had to change the ending bc this primadonna didn’t want to film anymore >asks for top billing over actual movie star Colin Farrell >somehow gets a private jet >refuses to shoot anything on a boat or near water
practically anyone could be cast since he'd be wearing prosthetics for most of the movie
you need someone with a deep voice and physical presence, that's ti
I watched this earlier than I should've, not knowing what to expect, and some of it definitely wasn't for me back then. Tony Twist's bawds kept me glued to the screen though. Might've been one of my earliest awakenings.
I'd prefer Idris Elba or the guy that played Bronze Tiger. Spawn should be played by a grizzled, older, veteran looking guy. Foxx is too flashy, too peppy. Like Kevin Hart or Chris Tucker. It would be off-putting.
You know for all the racebending Hollywood does, I notice they could never get a chad black guy or some sexy black girls in roles. I mean new actors btw. I cant think of a muscular black guy who could actually pass as a hero in a film that wasnt from the 90s or before.
he could've pulled it off in '97
He was great in No Way Home
Yeah, it's not that far off from Bats in Baby Driver
As long as he doesn’t do his fast talking schtick, maybe. Al Simmons is a pretty serious dude.
his face is burned so they can easily get a stunt double for the more physical stuff
Just make a shot for shot remake with the original cast.

Perfect casting thread?
yeah but they still should've brought back michael jai white
Foxx is a better actor and fit enough to handle the physical side of it.
idk if foxx can be intimidating or straight up terrifying. i for one haven't seen it from him, and i've seen many of his films
but i know white can
too old
same age
No one wants to see Spawn in the 2020’s
In the 2020s no one knows what they want until they're told by large corporations to want something.
People would love to see a Spawn reboot these days.

People want to see a comic book adaption from something other than Marvel or DC.
Judge Dredd is one of the best comic book adaptations and it flopped badly

I'd watch it on streaming, but I don't go to theaters anymore.
Spawn show with proper gore and no woke shenanigans would be a hit.
Edgy badass goth shit was a product of the 90s. Too bad everythings gay now
>remains best prawn media in your path
Yes, but the movie wasnt that bad either.
leguizamo was peak clown, I admit

if they do another one I hope they use the redeemer
it's time for some angel kino
I doubt they'd use him for the first movie. But if they want to go the horror route like the rumors mention, they could do it like in a Dark Song.
I remember Todd saying they want to focus on Sam & Twitchy solving crimes and hearing about this boogieman called Spawn, that leaves a trail of bodies. He said would be a mix of Se7en and Candyman. Ngl it's a good concept and can work very well.
just bring back the original guy. he's only aged like 3 years
I thought this homie was gonna play Mike, what happened?
Miami vice was Kino but
>Michael Mann had to change the ending bc this primadonna didn’t want to film anymore
>asks for top billing over actual movie star Colin Farrell
>somehow gets a private jet
>refuses to shoot anything on a boat or near water
He looks like a manlet.
I would cast that homieh that did warmonger.
It would be extremely painful
practically anyone could be cast since he'd be wearing prosthetics for most of the movie
you need someone with a deep voice and physical presence, that's ti
>suit comes on
>becomes entirely CGI
I'm sure he can pull it off
he's no MJW in terms of stuntwork but he certainly looks the part
the cartoon is extremely overrated because it was baby's first big boy cartoon
Only someone that wasnt alive back when it aired, changed genders based on their teachers advice and never actually watched it would say this.
I watched this earlier than I should've, not knowing what to expect, and some of it definitely wasn't for me back then. Tony Twist's bawds kept me glued to the screen though. Might've been one of my earliest awakenings.
Is he still going to get cucked by a white man?
I feel like I've been hearing about this Spawn reboot forever now. Is this ever happening or what?
Frick no. They should just make a CG animated movie and bring back Keith David.
>Keith David
nobody wants a Spawn thats near 70
he's a VA
and voices change with age, Spawn can't sound like an old head
this, Keith is the only person who should ever be allowed to voice him
I'd prefer Idris Elba or the guy that played Bronze Tiger. Spawn should be played by a grizzled, older, veteran looking guy. Foxx is too flashy, too peppy. Like Kevin Hart or Chris Tucker. It would be off-putting.
he cant pull his head out of his ass so no he really cant
You know for all the racebending Hollywood does, I notice they could never get a chad black guy or some sexy black girls in roles. I mean new actors btw. I cant think of a muscular black guy who could actually pass as a hero in a film that wasnt from the 90s or before.
No. No one has Keith Davids voice except for Keith David.
