I won’t bore you with the details, again (you can read all of the previous updates here), but Todd McFarlane‘s still hyping his long-gestured Spawn remake that’s yet to come to fruition.

It’s the San Diego Comic-Con and, of course, the legendary comic book artist is in attendance. Screen Rant asked him for an update on Spawn, which is still being produced by Blumhouse.

“We decided, ‘You know what, let’s just do it in New York.’ We’ll do it in New York [Comic Con],” he tells the site.

“Are we moving? Are we adding pieces? All of the above, yes. The best I can say right now, besides all that’s been happening, is that it kind of got slowed down during the pandemic and then picked back up. Especially given that, for a while, the only movies people were going to during the pandemic were superhero movies – minus James Bond. Now you get Maverick, and some of the big blockbusters that are coming back to normal.

“But at New York Comic Con, there is going to be a big announcement.”

The New York Comic Con takes place from October 6-9, which is only a few months away. We’ll be keeping our eyes open to see if McFarlane actually has something huge to report or if he continues to be the director who cried wolf.

“Spawn is centered on a black-ops agent who is betrayed and murdered and his soul sent to hell for all the innocents he killed. While there, he makes a deal with a demon who allows him to return to the earthly plane and his wife. However, five years have now passed, and his wife has moved on, while he is a disfigured and superpowered spawn of hell,” THR reminds us.

“The comic was adapted into a 1997 New Line horror-action movie that starred Michael Jai White, as well as a late-1990s HBO cartoon series.”
