Spawn creator Todd McFarlane explains how the massive critical and financial success of DC's Joker impacted Spawn's upcoming reboot movie.
Spawn is taking one major concept away from the success of DC's Joker. After the original Spawn movie critically flopped, bringing in only $87.9 million against its $50 million budget, the franchise looked as if it lost its appeal. With ongoing reports indicating that creators have been planning a new Spawn movie for years, the future is starting to look bright.
Though Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has been shopping around a new Spawn adaptation idea, the R-rated Joker has given it a new life since the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux implies a strong future for that franchise. In an interview with CBR, McFarlane made it clear that he sees Joker's success as a great sign for R-rated superhero movies in general. Check out his quote below:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY "We are all at least contemplating it being R-rated. When I was saying that I was going to write, produce, and direct it, it was going to be R-rated. The people coming on board, especially the writers, they're rowing in that same direction, which is cool. We'll see how excited the studios are about that. But done right, R-rated stuff can go because Joker just paved such a big highway for that.
Watchmen, Logan, and Deadpool have all been incredibly successful. Logan, for instance, drew $619.2 million with its theatrical release, while Deadpool scored a $782.6 million take. With Logan's budget costing approximately $100 million and Deadpool's being $58 million, they were more than just critical successes. In fact, they've become massive box-office hits.
Spawn can benefit by using these popular and often-artistic movies as a launching point to create its world. With the opportunity to put together a universe based on the comics and unafraid to shy away from Spawn's darker elements, McFarlane's comments are a positive sign for the Spawn reboot. It all depends on if Spawn can get off the ground and start development in the first place.
