That's cool. Jaime Foxx could be cool. I like him, but he's just so recognizable. Was thinking someone more obscure would be better, but it will probably require a big star to get made anyway. More power to him. I hope he and McFarlane can make it happen.

I cringe whenever people say make James Bond black. That's like making Shaft white. Just no.

According to Todd McFarlane production likely to begin next year on a new movie

also, Bond is a British agent... ethnicity isn't essential to his background, only nationality, and that's not even all that essential since the best Bond wasn't even British.

Bond is actually Scottish anyway, So with them going with Sean Connery the first time is spot on....Even says so in the novels

and also Bond was based on Fleming's life style.....so yeah stick with being white.

what does his life style have to do with his ethnicity?

I am black, and I think they should keep Bond white. Do you think Batman should be black too? Steve Rogers as well? Just let characters keep their ethnicities. If you change them, all it will do is call attention to their ethnicity and make them a walking racial banner rather than a character. If you want a black Bond, create a story with a black guy who is just as cool as James Bond.

well Batman will be black once Affleck ruins it then Chadwick Boseman will take over.. lol

back on topic, I liked the first Spawn only for the visual effects.. this new version should a good story, decent acting, good villain and a good costume for Spawn

Batman (the real Batman) is one person in the comics, and only one person, Bruce Wayne. I'd be fine with Batman being black, as long is it's not Bruce Wayne... some other (black) dude taking up the mantle of Batman, cool.

Conversely, Bond is NOT one person, so casting a black actor in the role hurts nothing.

Isn't Craig reprising his role, anyway?

I'm really not sure how to feel about this, Spawn reboot. I guess i'm worried that, Mcfarlane is trying to make a profitable film franchise rather than see that the fans interpretation of his original character is realized respectively. I'm not opposed to a change as long as it's genuine.

Todd McFarlane needs to get off of his ass and make this reboot happen.

I watched Spawn last night for the first time in forever and it still sucks.

Idris Elba would make an awesome Al Simmons. F*ck Jamie Foxx.

The film, apparently, is in development Hell.

i really like Idris Elba, but he's too often the go to name whenever the conversation turns to casting a black character in a superhero/action movie... he's becoming another Ryan Reynolds. Give someone else a shot, preferably someone younger than Idris.

Idris Elba has a lot of talent though. Not that Jamie doesn't, but I don't see him selling a superhero movie.

I think Jamie Fox is to big of a name to play, Spawn.

unless he has a great turn as Electro then he would be a major mistake..

i am also hoping for this reboot to be a little more dark and have lots of good violence

By the time this movie gets made, Jamie Foxx will be dead.
