Speaking to ComicBook.com, Blum shared that the ‘Spawn’ reboot is in active development, giving fans reason to be hopeful. He mentioned the need for writers and studios to resolve their differences and resume writing.
Blum said, “I would say you have a lot to hope for because it’s in very active development.” Blum added, “What needs to happen is that my fellow friends, the writers, and the studios, need to figure out their differences and get back to writing, but we’ve got a great group of folks putting it together, and my hope is that that movie—my prediction is maybe we’ll actually see a Spawn movie in ’25. No promises, but that’s my prediction.“
