Todd McFarlane’s long-awaited Spawn movie will be R-rated and the first draft of its "badass" script is already complete
Spawn creator Todd McFarlane says Hollywood needs to make more💧 R-rated comic book movies

Spawn creator Todd MacFarlane s🃏ays the script for the live-action feature-length adaptationꦇ is complete – and with an R-rating in tow.
"The first draft of the screenplay is done. There's an R-rated 𒆙script 🉐that exists. We have been waiting a long time. We've created a script that creates its own version of Spawn for the screen," McFarlane shared during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The next step is finding a director for the long-awaited pic. "They have been true to my spirit. They delivered a badass movie script."
Just before SDCC kicked off, producer Jason Blum posted the fi👍rst pa﷽ge of the script to his social media accounts, revealing the title of the film as King Spawn. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:King Spawn is an ongoing comic book series that launched back in 2021, featuring the original Spawn, Al Simmons, and follows his journe🌌y as he finally finds his place in the war betwee🧸n Heaven and Hell as a leader.
"We need to do R-rated Hollywood comic movies," McFarlane added, noting that he was inspired by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deadpool and Wolverine and Joker: Folie a Deux. The first live-action Spawn movie hit theaters in 1997 and was given a toned-down PG-13 rating – which was confusing for fans (much like myself) given that the comic is more or less known🅠 for its ultra-violence – and received largely negative reviews.
King Spawn does not yet have a release date, though Blum did mention a possible 2025 release date. For more movie news, Keep tabs on Comic-Con with our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SDCC 2024 live blog and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SDCC 2024 schedule.
