Spawn as he appeared on the Xbox version of Soul Calibur II.

Todd McFarlane, the creator of Spawn, co-creator of Venom, and sculptor of detailed toys, is getting into film making by creating a Spawn movie that will star Jamie Foxx.

Foxx will star as the titular CIA Black Ops team member-turned angry demon and McFarlane will direct. Speaking with Deadline.com, McFarlane offered a few details about his plans for the movie. Spawn, the character, won't speak much, it won't be an origin story, and and he hopes this first film will the first entry in a trilogy. This will be McFarlane's first time in the directr's chair for a full-length feature, though he has dabbled in animation for music videos. Foxx added to the interview saying he has been a longtime fan of the character and universe and has been campaigning to play the character for some time.
