If you want, you can think of Spawn’s cameo in Ready Player One as the small appetizer ahead of the entree that is the Spawn reboot. For years, Todd McFarlane tried to get a new Spawn movie off the ground, and last summer, he announced that the project is finally moving forward over at Blumhouse Productions. Rather than hand off his creation to someone else, McFarlane will direct the Spawn reboot, which will not re-tell the character’s origin story. Instead, this movie is being set up as a low-budget, R-rated superhero movie set in New York City that fits quite comfortably in the horror genre. McFarlane has also said that Spawn will not speak in the reboot, though he’ll still communicate in a special way. Aside from the eponymous protagonist, the only character from the Spawn comics who’s been confirmed for the reboot is Detective Twitch Williams. In any case, the Spawn reboot is finally on the way, but if you’ve been waiting a long time to see this character back in a cinematic setting, Ready Player One has you covered.
