Jamie Foxx is set to star in the latest “Spawn” from Todd McFarlane and Blumhouse Productions, sources confirm to Variety.

McFarlane, who created the original comic, is on board to write and direct the pic. He will also produce with Jason Blum.

The Spawn character first appeared in print in 1992, and gained popularity in the comics community almost instantly. In 1997, New Line adapted the character into a feature film starring Michael Jai White. HBO also took a crack at the antihero in an animated series that lasted for three seasons, each with six episodes, and earned two Emmy Awards.

Did not see this coming. Foxx or Todd.

Liked the first. Liked the show.  Will probably like this one.

It’s either going to be really good, or really shitty.  It doesn’t feel like there will be any middle ground. The effects/CGI are definitely available to do it right. 

And hey, he’s not partnered up with a former Boston Red Sox pitcher.

I’m kind of amazed how much appeal Spawn has... thought it was a pretty mediocre comic book character.
