Although the film has been slow to make much progress, Jamie Foxx remains as committed as ever to Todd McFarlane's highly anticipated Spawn film: 'I know that in all my conversations with Jamie, he's never wavered on being in this movie.'

Though a Spawn reboot has been hinted at for years now, Jamie Foxx has not let that time affect his desire to be the lead of the film. The long in-development Spawn reboot, once set to be directed by Canadian comic book writer and filmmaker Todd McFarlane, has been rumored to come to fruition since 2018. Progress has been slow for some time, with financing and story issues cropping up over the years.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Alongside Foxx, Jeremy Renner is the only other talent attributed to the film so far, though his involvement is now uncertain. Foxx will take on the role of Spawn's Albert Simmons. According to comic book origins, Simmons is an assassin hired by the American government who ends up getting killed as a result of a double cross.

I know that in all my conversations with Jamie, he's never wavered on being in this movie, actually, to the opposite, he leaves me messages all the time like 'Let's get going, man, come on man. The moments here we gotta strike. Let's go.' We've been talking about this being a sophisticated movie, right? I mean, I've been up on stage going, I'm gonna write, produce, direct and here it is going to be.

Will The Spawn Movie Reboot Ever Get Off The Ground? Given the four-year wait between now and the announcement of the reboot, there is some valid speculation as to whether Foxx's new Spawn movie will ever see the light of day. There is hope yet thanks to the recent hiring of the three writers, all of whom seem excited at the prospect of bringing Spawn back to life.

The apparent dedication to the film from not only Foxx but from the writing staff as a whole is enough to generate hope among fans of the antihero. That being said, those who have been waiting for the reboot should hope cautiously, as McFarlane's Spawn ambitions can be traced back all the way to 2005. If this movie ever does end up getting made, it will be exciting to see if the commitment from the full team can successfully have the film live up to the ever rising expectations.
