Following Marvel and DC Comics' "Black Panther," "Doctor Strange" and "Cyborg," many are now hoping that a "Spawn" movie reboot could also make its way back to the big screen.
While talks about the said reboot have already been going on for years, the plan was never really made into reality.
Reports now suggest that Todd McFarlane will be taking over the said project, however nothing has been made official.
At Toronto's The Gate fan expo, McFarlane gamely talked about his thoughts about the possibility "Spawn" movie reboot.
While he could not reveal the release date of the said project, McFarlane did talk about what fans could expect about the film.
"I think it's a quick shoot," he answered when asked about the planned "Spawn" movie reboot.
"It's not going to be a giant budget with a lot of special effects, it's going to be more of a horror movie and a thriller movie, not a superhero one. I've got so many people phoning now that I've got to get it done. I've made some promises to people this year."
And in a previous interview with Comicbook, McFarlane confirmed that he plans to make the film as "dark and gritty" as possible.
"It will be a definite R," he explained.
"Not so much that I tell people... I don't want 'R' to do excessive violence or nudie people or any of that. It's just that some of the content, which is sort of street thug and police officers, you're getting into some dark and gritty 2 AM in the morning bad guy stuff."
Adding, "That conversation, it doesn't lend itself to being PG-13. Those types of people, those types of characters have a certain vernacular that they speak with, so you can't do it, right. So you have to dip into 'R' rated, just to be actually able to do characters in the proper fashion. Again, I don't know if anybody could do a mafia story and not make it 'R,' just because of the way people talk. And once you start using a couple curse words, it sort of crosses over into that in the film ratings anyway."
