Potential Casting: Jeremy Renner and Jamie Foxx for King Spawn Film
Following recent updates on the much-anticipated Spawn sequel, speculation has been mounting regarding Jeremy Renner’s role in the upcoming King Spawn movie. Director Todd McFarlane recently unveiled the official title for the sequel and confirmed that the script has been finalized, sparking curiosity among fans about Renner’s potential involvement as Twitch Williams or the possibility of a replacement.
Back in 2018, reports surfaced about Renner being cast as Detective Twitch Williams in King Spawn, but his participation in the film remains unconfirmed. The project has experienced numerous script changes and delays since its initial announcement, causing uncertainty surrounding Renner’s role. However, producer Jason Blum recently revealed that the sequel has been titled King Spawn and shared the title page of the screenplay.
In a previous interview with Comic Book, Blum expressed confidence in the film’s release in 2025 and mentioned securing a director and actor once the script was finalized. This suggests that Renner’s casting could potentially be subject to change as the production progresses. As the official cast for King Spawn is yet to be revealed, eager fans will have to wait for further updates.
Spawn, released in 1997, was based on Todd McFarlane’s popular image comics character of the same name. McFarlane has long been planning a follow-up sequel, which has been in development for over two decades. After announcing a partnership with Blumhouse Productions at San Diego Comic-Con in 2017, Renner and Jamie Foxx were later announced as the leads, set to portray Twitch and AI Simons, respectively.
Despite positive developments in the film’s production over the years, Blum delivered a setback in 2020 by announcing a departure from the previous script and a new direction for the sequel in a conversation with Abu Dhabi Culture. With emphasis on getting the script right and ensuring its quality, Blum indicated a shift in the storyline’s direction. However, now that the script has been completed, fans can anticipate further details on the plot and casting decisions.
As the anticipation for King Spawn continues to build, the uncertainty surrounding Jeremy Renner’s involvement adds an intriguing element to the project. With the script finalized and progress being made towards production, updates on Renner’s role and the overall casting for the sequel are likely to surface in the near future. Stay tuned for more information on King Spawn as the project moves closer to becoming a reality.
