Jamie Foxx Is In Comic Book Movie Mode, In 'Aggressive Pursuit' To Play SPAWN

For a matter of about far more than a decade now, comic book author and creator Todd MacFarlane expressed his anticipation on actively establishing a function-length return of the character Spawn to the large screen, having progressed into the talk of creating a reduced budgeted, closely managed sequel with a darker-toned vision suitable for an R-rating, compared to its 1997 predecesor from director Mark A.Z. Dippé. This year, it seems now that with the heightened popularity and success of Django Unchained, White Residence Down and The Remarkable Spider-Man two star, actor Jamie Foxx, MacFarlane's Image Comics property is back in the headlines, and hitting heavy with a recent statement from the actor who lately spoke to Motion pictures.com about the project, telling Erik Davis the following: "There's a couple of them, Spawn…is 1, yeah, and uh, Mike Tyson. Those are two roles that I would just love to, you know, get down with." Foxx went on to add that he is "aggressively pursuing" each roles, but expanding a bit much more dialogue on playing Mike Tyson in a new film.

The 1997 installation of Spawn from Dippé was not a enormous success upon its release at the time, but it also succeeded in granting mainstream notoriety for action  star Michael Jai White, who also spoke a handful of years back about what he would love to do for a new Spawn film. "I hope he does [make the film]. In the subsequent couple years I might have to generate it myself. It is a no-brainer." he says. "Appear at how these motion pictures have done, superhero films that have gone dark, and there hasn’t been one darker than Spawn. If we do it like we want to, it could be a game changer. I feel Todd feels the exact same way as me – that we go R. Not a kinder, gentler Spawn, we go straight R – like pushing it, pushing NC-17. Give the fans what they expect. That edge brought [the comic book] to where it is. I would actually like to show what that character can be.”

With all the talk revolving a new film, and taking into consideration the popularity of both Foxx and White, it appears like this film could take place. Nonetheless, what's nevertheless up for debate for some fans out there is if no matter whether or not Foxx will get the role soon adequate, or if White will make the come back. In my opinion, taking into consideration White may possibly be busy with the Codename: Falcon franchise, in addition to Black Dynamite 2, Mortal Kombat, Blood And Bone two, filming season two of Metal Hurlant Chronicles and playing Bronze Tiger in the CW television series, Arrow, Spawn might not be an option, which leaves Foxx a primary contender...

Hey, its either him, or your sister's boyhood crush from Titanic. But what do you feel?
