Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has further teased the long-gestating reboot, with the writer, producer, and director stating he is more confident now than at any other point in the process. Speaking with Comicbook.com, McFarlane said he is hopeful to land a distributor for the Spawn reboot around the release of Joker: Folie Deux, which he believes will prove the popularity of both R-rated comic book movies and writer Scott Silver.
