As far as we know, Jamie Foxx is still attached to play the title role. The Spider-Man: No Coming Home the actor shared the following update earlier this year during an interview with ComicBook.com.
“I’m talking to Todd and we want to create something so special because I remember seeing the first Spawn movies and then seeing the HBO versions and so we have something that almost feels like an original, without giving too much away,” Foxx said. . “But it starts off in such a cool way. And it’s not a big budget, you know? And that’s what I love about it.”
