Back in May, we reported that Jamie Foxx had been offered the role of Spawn in Todd McFarlane‘s new film. Today, it has been confirmed by Deadline, Jamie Foxx is our new Spawn! See, this all started five years ago when Foxx told Movies.com that he would love to pay the part. “Spawn is one, yeah. And Mike Tyson,” Foxx stated. “Those are two roles I would just love to do. I’m aggressively pursuing them.” McFarlane has been teasing that the comic adaptation, backed by Blumhouse, will feature a lot of “big name” actors, and Foxx is definitely one of them, though the others have not been named so far. Foxx will play the role of Lieutenant Colonel Al Simmons who is killed and returns from Hell as Spawn, a soldier in the Devil’s army. The role will be very different than the 1997 version starring Michael Jai White. In this one Spawn will not speak and will be a

Sony is serious about building its Marvel shared universe. Venom, starring Tom Hardy, will open in theaters this October. One of the other films on the menu for Sony is Morbius. The first details for Morbius, the vampire comic adaptation which we last reported on back in November of last year, has been uncovered by The Hashtag Show who reportedly reached out to Sony for an update. According to the site, in the movie, Morbius is a “Horror action story of a scientist who, in trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease, accidentally transformed himself into a living vampire who, though disgusted by his own bloodlust, chooses to prey upon criminals he deems unworthy of life.” The site also reported that Sony gave them the basic description of the type of actor the studio is looking to cast. Sony is not looking for a particular race but is looking for a man between that ages of 30

John Wick director Chad Stahelcki is teaming up with “Colony” creator Ryan Condal for the adaptation of the sci-fi comic Analog, THR reports. Set in the near-future, “the security of the internet has been rendered useless thanks to an event referred to as the Great Doxxing. Out of those ashes, people turn to so-called Ledger Men, agents who carry sensitive secrets the old-fashioned way — with a briefcase handcuffed to one arm and a gun held in the other.” The first issue of Image Comic’s Analog, from writer Gerry Duggan and artist David O’Sullivan, was released in April.

What do you get when you have a cantankerous motley crew like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in retirement, a nosey journalist student, and the antichrist rolled into one story? You get the Webtoon Apocalyptic Horseplay by artist Boredman. The story follows Angela, a former journalist student who’s trying to make a name for herself by investigating a strange newspaper that only reports positive news. She soon finds that the authors of the paper are the Four Horsemen who have retired and renounced their ways and wish to live quietly in England. The discovery soon sparks unwanted attention from a secretive society of monster hunters and a child who is the antichrist. It should be noted that a couple of the characters who appear in Apocalyptic Horseplay have appeared first in another one of Boredman’s comics, Undeaded, which is another excellent Webtoon! With a dark fantasy story told through a picturesque style that resembles Disney, Apocalyptic Horseplay is an

Again on Line Webtoon, I’ve discovered a little gem, a comic by Spanish artist Rumbo (Josué Rumbo) titled My name is Death. The comic follows the grim reaper himself and the shenanigans that arise as he works. Death himself looks a bit different from what we think of him, he’s a little guy with a wicked sense of humor that resembles Deadpool (who makes an appearance in one of the comics.) The comics are a perfect mix of silliness, pop culture references, and at times social commentary. When the series first started the drawings looked different but as the series progresses the drawings become cleaner (thanks to donations from readers) Overall, My name is Death is a funny little comic strip that updates weekly if you like dark humor, sarcasm, and even a little cuteness; this comic is for you! You can read it HERE, you can also check out My name is Death on Facebook and Twitter and you

Axeman is gearing up for battle against “Satan’s Whores”. This morning, Axeman trilogy writer and director Joston Ramon Theney (interview) confirmed the release of #SinningWorks’ first comic book, scheduled to hit shelves this Fall. The one-off comic follows two surviving characters of Axeman 2: Overkill as well as a returning character from the original Axeman film. It’s been a wild ride to get to this point – never having worked in comics before but luckily I’ve had a great artist to work with,” Theney said. “This story was originally just a simple bridge between the events of OVERKILL and ABSOLUTION but has become so much more. It continues the journey of Kesha and Sunshine and shows you that there was more than meets the eye to their relationship and their relationship with Denise from the first film. “Theney went on to say, “The comic also paves the way for a more substantive conclusion to the trilogy for the upcoming AXEMAN

The first video game adaptation of the television series “The Walking Dead”, that seems to be more popular than the show itself, will be coming to an end. The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series is an episodic interactive drama that takes place at the same time as the television series, some of the characters of the show have made appearances in one of the installments. The game’s art resembles a comic book style, paying homage to the Walking Dead comic book series that inspired the show. Players watch the story unravel and at times have to make decisions for the characters that at times will determine how the story will unfold. The final season of the Telltale series will again focus on Clementine, a girl who was the sidekick of the main protagonist of the first season Lee. Clementine becomes the series main protagonist after the end of the first season. In the third season, she’s one of two characters
