McFarlane has written the first draft of the script and is set to direct the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Spawn" was adapted into a 1997 New Line horror-action movie that starred Michael Jai White.
The comic told of a black-ops agent who is betrayed and killed, his soul sent to hell for all the innocents he killed. While there, he makes a deal with a demon who allows him to return to the earthly plane and his wife.
