I love strategy games, but getting into a new one is always an uphill struggle for me. There’s a ton of new information to take in, new systems to familiarize myself with, and all of the odd quirks and clumsy controls to get accustomed to. But every once in a while one of them instantly gets their hooks in me and…
Do not adjust your screen. We have an honest-to-goodness update about Todd McFarlane’s long-gestating Spawn movie. According to Jason Blum, the new Spawn feature is called King Spawn. On Monday, the Blumhouse Productions CEO announced the title on social media alongside the script’s cover page. In the image, Matt Mixon, Malcolm Spellman, and Scott Silver‘s names appear on the document, with credit to Todd McFarlane as the creator of Spawn. It’s been almost a decade since McFarlane teased the film reboot.

According to Blum, Jamie Foxx will still play Albert Francis “Al” Simmons in the upcoming film, with a brief synopsis revealing other notable franchise characters included in the story. Here’s the official synopsis:
“NYPD detective Twitch Williams investigates a series of grisly murder scenes, perpetrated by the mysterious supernatural vigilante Spawn.” The Twitch Williams character refers to one part of McFarlane’s Sam and Twitch duo. Sam Burke and his long-time partner, Maximillian Williams III (aka. Twitch), are two seasoned Detectives from the NYPD Homicide Division. Their work on the city’s more esoteric and bizarre cases eventually led them to the Hellspawn known as Al Simmons. An uneasy alliance was formed as both sides attempted to do what was right for the denizens of Rat City.
“Yes, I’m going to bring the Blumhouse edge [to the Spawn movie],” said Jason Blumhouse about using Spawn to introduce the studio’s take on the superhero genre. “It’s going to be edgy and original as compared to other superhero movies. It’s gonna definitely feel like the Blumhouse version of a superhero movie.”
Mark A.Z. Dippé directed 1997’s Spawn, which starred Micahel Jai White as Al Simmons. The film also stars Martin Sheen as Jason Wynn and John Leguizamo in an unforgettable and grotesque role as the villain Clown. Critics mostly panned Spawn upon its release, scoring 17% Fresh on RottenTomatoes. Since then, Spawn has been considered by many to be a cult classic of questionable quality. Regardless of the previous film’s reception, Spawn continues to thrive in the comic book arena, and I’m surprised it’s taken this long for a King Spawn to come together.

The Spirit Sword is a Curved Sword you can only obtain in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. This aesthetically striking weapon isn’t a best-in-class choice, especially considering its poor range, but it’s nevertheless a fun option for sorcery-based builds looking for a bit of visual flair.
