Is Jeremy Renner Joining Jamie Foxx In ‘Spawn’?

Published

If Todd McFarlane hadn’t landed Jamie Foxx in the lead role of his Spawn reboot, I’d be in tears laughing at the mere speculation that Jeremy Renner (Hansel and Gretel, Tag, Avengers) could be starring. Yet, here we are. Unconfirmed rumors are swirling that Renner will not only star in Spawn, but will be playing Twitch Williams.

A source with knowledge of the production tipped The Hashtag Show (who has been wrong on many occasions) off to Renner’s potential role as Twitch, a character described as “an honest detective” who will team up with Spawn as he seeks vengeance for the murder of his young daughter.

McFarlane, who created Spawn and will direct and produce the adaptation from his own script, has openly stated that he intends to keep casting quiet. We’ll see how this all pans out.

Foxx will star as the title character, an elite mercenary (Al Simmons) who is killed but comes back from Hell as a reluctant soldier of the Devil.

“Spawn” was the first massive launch pad for Image Comics in May of 1992. New Line Cinema would adapt the comic in 1997 with Michael Jai White starring alongside John Leguizamo. A “Spawn” animated series also ran from 1997-1999 totally 18 episodes.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
