"About a month ago, I had a big fish," McFarlane told ComicBook.com. "I just about got him on deck, right? It was the one that some people misheard and said I lost Jamie, it was like no an addition, an addition. But we lost him and those are always frustrating because whenever you got the fish out of the water, pull them up on deck and the line breaks."

"We got an offer out to, I think, a bigger fish," he continued. "So, there weren't too many bigger than the first guy, but anyway, we'll see. If I could've got the last guy, it would've been a home run. If I can get this guy, it will be a grand slam. This one will blow up the internet. So, we'll see. I don't know."

Spawn Movie in Talks With Actor Big Enough to 'Blow Up the Internet'

Spawn creator Todd McFarlane says one character in the upcoming film could be played by an actor 'big enough to blow up the internet.'

www.cbr.com

who da fuck can todd be talking about?

ATTENTION: Bear in mind that Jamie Foxx is already locked in for the role of Al Simmons/Spawn, the role of the mystery actor is the one in question.

yo if daniel day-lewis agrees to do a fucken movie like this i will get giggly as shit

Please don’t be The Rock.....

it’s gonna be The Rock, isn’t it....

Is Idris Elba big enough to “blow up the Internet?”

who would the rock even play..

i can see daniel day-lewis play some devil type of dude

i want that motherfucker to stop taking himself so seriously and finally do a role like this

I assumed Todd was talking about Spawn/Al Simmons

naaah jamie foxx is locked in for that

so is jeremy renner for detective twitch

 

[Tesseract]

idris is that you

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Somehow I missed that Jamie Foxx is already cast as Spawn/Al.

I either never knew that or forgot I knew it

disregard my previous posts

 

[MaestroMike]

My money's on Kevin Hart who else is bigger than this munchkin

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’m assuming, then, perhaps he’s talking about someone to play Violator?

 

[triplestation]

hmmmm

could be!

who would make a good violator

 

[IntentionalPun]

Maybe this chick?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Ok, bear with me

Tom Cruise as Jason Wynn, Foxx and Cruise reunite many years after the very good Collateral

Jonah Hill as Billy Kincaid/Mr. Chill-ee

Charlize Theron or Karen Gillan as Angela

no idea who should play Violator....

Someone with a distinctive voice talent to play/voice Malebolgia. I dunno....Andy Serkis?

 

[ClanOfNone]

Bring back Leguizamo!

 

[Kacho]

Gotta be Idris

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

as far as his “break the Internet” comment, I dunno who exactly would qualify. The Rock wouldn’t work as Violator unless they just make him a buff as fuck guy instead of a fat guy, which I doubt Todd would do

Maybe Robert Downey Jr to play Jason Wynn? That would be big news

 

[ClanOfNone]

Didn't know Foxx was already attached as Simmons, would prefer Idris in that role.

RDJ or Keaton for Wynn pls.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

The Rock could play Chapel

Maybe.....Jeff Bridges as Cog?

 

[triplestation]

keep an open mind now

what better actor could play the violator than an already existing and beloved youtuber?

JOEYS WORLD TOUR

think about it

HE'S PERFECT

 

[JSoup]

Guys, come on. Ruth Bader Ginsburg would make a great Spawn, just give her a chance.

Bring back Leguizamo!

This.

 

[triplestation]

i am not opposed to the return of leguizamo but i do also welcome new blood

 

[TheMan]

halle berry as wanda

wouldn't really break the internet, but I think Todd is probably overhyping this anyway

 

[triplestation]

i find todd mcfarlanes thought process brilliant and i've been following him for a while so i'm on board with pretty much anythign he says

 

[DeeDogg_]

Jussie Smollet!

Juicy Smollye

 

[ZehDon]

Surprise: it's a fucking sequel.

 

[yet_another_alt]

He said internet so it has to be nerd shit. It's Mark Hamill as Violator.

 

[JLMC469]

about someone to play Violator?

Bill Cosby, James Franco, Louis C K?

 

[epicnemesis]

It would have to be someone who has owned a super hero role to break the internet. So my money is either Robert Downey or Hugh Jackman.

 

[rykomatsu]

John Wick?

 

[triplestation]

or josh brolin

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Chadwick Boseman or Michael B. Jordan?

If I name enough actors I’ll have to be right eventually

 

[triplestation]

imagine they cast rihanna as wanda

 

[iconmaster]

Not knowing much about Spawn, I assume this means Kim Kardashian.

 

[haxan7]

Kanye West

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Not knowing much about Spawn, I assume this means Kim Kardashian.

Billie Eilish should play Spawn and PewDiePie should play Violator

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Danny de Vito to play violator/the little clown fellow.

 

[Stouffers]

Madea goes to Hell.

 

[Nymphae]

You want to blow the internet up? Cast a white guy.

 

[MaestroMike]

[triplestation]

[GobbledeeGoo]

Keanu is the only actor I could see blowing up the internet.

 

[triplestation]

Keanu is the only actor I could see blowing up the internet.

something about this rings quite possible

maybe its a mix of how cool keanu is and the fact that he was in devils advocate (1997) as well as constantine (2005)

What other actor has such a relationship with the internet. If it's not Tommy Wiseau, it has to be Keanu.

 

[obin_gam]

Ah its the annual Spawn movie news bulletin.
I was wondering when it was gonna come....

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

That plastic ass Kardashian thing. Didn’t she break the internet a few years back?
