--------
In this clip, Michael Jai White speaks about Todd McFarlane's new "Spawn" concept, which he said many people have asked him about because he played Spawn in the 1997 adaptation. While Michael stated that he hasn't been asked to be in the film, he's not certain that McFarlane's film will ever be made. He explained that Todd is not a writer or director, and Michael thinks it would be really rare for a big studio to give him the millions to make the movie without a track record. To hear more, including why he thinks mid-range action movies are the best for investors, hit the above clip.
"Spawn" wasnt a bad movie at all, i used to watch it all the time as a kid, it was cool to see a comic come into a movie, it was ahead of its time
one of my favorites
Bruh I loved it too and I can admit that movie was hot garbage lol
The poster was dope too lol. Double sided
💯
That comic live action movie was great👍. It was ahead of its time. 1 of the 1st rated R comic book movies.
The HBO animated Spawn was amazing.
They were better than the movie..
Mr. Barmore that’s because they had more characters and better writing.
Hell yeah! My parents let me rent them when I was ten because it was only a cartoon even though it was rated R or NC-17 back when that was a thing. That series was better than any movie we're ever going to get.
Facts
@@dieseltyme lol same. I rented them from blockbuster
I need to see Michael Jai White in Spawn 2 movie. PERIOD!!
This man is 52 years old by the way. He could play Spawn, Blade, or Black Panther tomorrow (and for another decade). And they say Keanu Reeves doesn't age!
pff no Snipes is the only Blade in my eyes
I fully agree. Michael is a beast
I mean age is catching up quick for this guy. His body type is extremely difficult to keep, we will be seeing him very skinny soon, which is normal
@@Claymorw Sure, go tell that to Sly... lol
Keanu Reeves is the man! But u right lol. Michael loves Keanu as well. They both look amazing for their age. Michael dies look younger though.
Wesley snipes and Michael Jai White should do a movie together
I always hoped they would go face to face in a Blade movie.
Hell yeah
Facts
Someone make this happen please!!
PREACH!!!
He made a valid point he keeps his movies simple in order to make them dubbed in other languages which increases his returns. Super smart.
The only Spawn we acknowledge
Bruh Keith David from the HBO show >>>>>>>>>>
Actually we acknowledge MJW and Keith David
After django I think jamie can do anything
Keith David 1st he even came back to do MK11 with his voice
Daylyt
If spawn went straight to Netflix and amazon prime it would shut their servers down the day it drops
@Trent Sanford facts. They gotta do it right though.
Lol the one he was in only made like 17 mill! He makes D list movies now. No way Spawn would be anything!
The HBO animated series is already on Amazon Prime. But I guarantee you, if Todd McFarlane went the Netflix series route, it would do so much better!
Agreed I think that’s the direction they should go
Yep... movie industry needs to get with the times we're in. I'm not going into a movie theater risking catching COVID when I be chilling at home with my🍿 🍻
My uncle took me to watch this at the movies when I was 9 years old, i loved Michael and john leguizamo in this movie, spawn is a classic.
MJW and Wesley snipes are irreplaceable to me as those characters. John Leguizamo is so underrated as an actor, he’s a beast
@Lorenzo Ortiz yeah I was never able to get it either but I know exactly which one u are talking about
It was such good late 90s cheese.
You can tell by his reaction he's tired of talkin about Spawn 😂
You can tell. He knows only the original film makers and himself will make spawn work again.
@@boodg8359 LOL 🤣
@@boodg8359 that movie had some good things but overall it was hot garbage
I just remember it from a young boy. So I got a soft spot for it hahaha
@@boodg8359 it was badass this dudes a troll.
Jamie Foxx taking all of MJW’s old roles. Spawn, Mike Tyson.
reread your statement slowly this time
@@sharikharib exactly 🤣🤣
And he should not...
Sharik Harib ?
@@sharikharib 😂😂😂 it sounds like he was saying mike tyson was gone play spawn 😂😂😂
My man makes a living working out and fighting, doing what he loves. Gotta be happy for him.
Yooooo. What HASNT Michael Jai White some? He was a school teacher, almost cop, pool hustler, part time chef, 90’s pastor, Kung fu master, yogi, comedian and hip hop historian. Lmaoooo. He’s on Tk Kirkland’s ass! TK better be careful. Lmaoooo
HE ALSO HAS 8 black belts in 8 different martial arts ( yeah right) 😂😂😂😂😂
Do you have proof that he’s lying???
@@GeneralRock114 hell no. Hes like 50yrs old. And in hollywood so of course he knows alotta ppl
😂😂😂😂
Lmao!!!
Todd McFarlane said he wanted to make the film with a 10m budget. That's laughable. Maybe if it was a Netflix series. Just bring back the animated HBO show from the 90's with KEITH DAVID returning to voice Spawn
Loved that show !
Well if you are nerd like me then Keth David is the voice of spawn in Mortal Kombat 11
That's what I Been Saying also🤦🏽♂
One of the best animated series ever
this ain't '97, can't do SPAWN for 10mil. Maybe some other indie flick but effects & sets alone would be 10mil. He does it for 50-70 he'll be good.
Hollywood always bullshytted jai white. Because he wouldn't sell out
Facts💯💯💯💯
He's an awesome actor its a shame he's never in any other good movies
He never wore a dress, or bent the knee so Hollywood never let him be great.
He made great movies on his own, though. Blood and bone, Black dynamite, never back down 3...
I think he came into Hollywood when there were still limited roles for young black actors. Furthermore he hit in the mid 90's. Brad Pitt hadn't made fight club yet. After Fight Club all the white Hollywood actors started getting trainers. No one had muscles til after the 90's. He just didn't have someone to write for his body type. He probably got tired of playing drug dealers and thugs. It's different now. A little...
He's the only guy I can ever see as Spawn!
He seems like a very intelligent man who should be a bigger star.
Maybe that’s the correlation we should be paying attention to.
I love how spawn is so relevant now these days he’s not even marvel or dc but he’s so popular
@@georgebeard3300 he’s from image comics
To say Todd McFarlane is overthinking the Spawn project will be severely understated.
Nah
Spawn is his child, and the last movie was a critical flop. Of course he's overthinking.
Vlad trying to tell an actor about the movie business 😀
rdenn49 shapes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
MJW was looking like, "you telling me some shit I already know!"
Vlad knows every profession more than the actual professionals do according to him lol
He keep trying to educate our educators which is just funny to me 😂😂
Although I’m a huge fan of J.Foxx, I wished he was cast for the new Spawn. He deserves to play in a Spawn movie that really honors the comics.
Rather see j white comeback… fox is too small and corny
@@sinnombre5466 "Although" is the first word of my comment thus implying, in this context, that Michael deserves to be cast for a real Spawn movie.
What he said about Todd’s ideas for the new spawn has me shook. He wants to make him like a misty figure that you don’t really see? Wtf?
Watch the animated series it'll make sense
Jamie ain't got no base in his voice. All u need is Keith David (voices Spawn in cartoon) and CGI.
I'm sure that first Friday movie must have made 100X it's worth over the years.
At least 100x. The actors got paid 5k for the first Friday. Vlad did a interview with pops from the movie.
Oh yeah. And it was TK Kirkland's Idea.
TK lives Forrrrrever lolz
Ice Cube financed that film. He spent his own money.
Most black films earn money.
I remember reading they spent about $5 million to make that movie in '95.
Most profitable movie (return on investment) is Paranormal Activity’. They shot that movie for $15k.
He needs to play it smart and turning it into a TV show And make it exactly like the comics exactly like the comics
They already have an animated series like that.
Not gonna happen. That flame died out with the first movie. A video game adaption is probably their best bet.
Bro no fuck tv shows i wanna watch a good 2hr movie that i can look back at n be like damn that was good
Sorry mjw I always see you as spawn
Edit: and I always hear Keith David as the voice
He was the original in the movie, why wouldn't you?
Imagine Vlad tryn tell and actor how the movie industry works 🤦🏿♂️
M. Night did it with his recent films like The visit, Split, and Glass and they grossed a lot. Might not have been millions of dollars, but he still fronted it
Yes but he & the films actually did make millions net after the cinemas, studio and producer/investors were paid. My understand is M.Night put up most of the $$$ for SPLIT & GLASS. So he and the cast with backend deals walked away with millions of dollars after costs.
Split only cost 9 million and grossed over a hundred million so m night def got paid. Spawn would need to be like a marvel movie to be a block buster IMO so 100-150 million would do it justice
@@jacksp8de Very true
ReiMourr Power I should’ve more pacific about the millions part. But, yeah, he did gross up to about $278 or so on Split at the box office. If I remember correctly he used his home to front The visit film.
Me and my best buddy grew up watching you as Spawn man you are the original brotha the man!!!!🔥🔥
Man... Michael was bad ass in Spawn why in the hell would they not want him to be in the new Spawn movie? Seems like an obvious win to me.
So you’re saying Michael is a better actor than foxx .. I’ll wait ?
@@roosterennis7801 yes, yes I am. I apologize for you having to wait.
@@RenewedFaith well you know common knowledge will show you who’s been in better movies , more movies and has had bigger roles and it ain’t Michael … so why do you think that is ? It’s pretty pedestrian to know why actually ….
Not sure that referring to the situation or me a pedestrian is needed but thats a matter of opinion. I dont think that one is in every occasion better than the other, take comedy for instance, Foxx would be better suited but for action I'd say Michael. Yes Fox has had more and bigger roles but knowing the right people also helps. Specifically in the role of Spawn given its dark and gritty undertones do you honestly believe that Foxx would be a better fit? @@roosterennis7801
Also, if you'd be so kind would you mind sharing why you would suspect that I would think as much? Being so pedestrian and all.@@roosterennis7801
He’s the only person I can see playing Spawn. I can’t picture Jamie as the character. I don’t care how many Oscar’s he got.
As long as the suit and personality is good any body can play anybody
Looking back that first spawn movie was pretty good it wasn't that bad
rewatch it lol, then watch double dragon
It was good
Krunchy Vurn Bictim 😂😂😂😂
@Krunchy Vurn Bictim spawn was way better than them all
It seems that we all have Michael Jai White's back on this one. I'm definitely a fan that can't understand we he still wasn't picked for the role of SPAWN😮
As of recent Jamie isn't attached to the new Spawn anymore.
Al max he saw this interview lol
@@1006innakey He probably realized wasn't nothing movie because of everything michael said and left the project. Todd needs to let the professionals handle it.
Studios make money from independent investors. On promises they make money on movies. The movie industry is a big cutthroat hustle.
Todd McFarlane should rewrite the script to make Spawn an actual character and not a shadow. That in itself is disrespectful to your own creation and transferring it to a different medium.
That I agree!!
Exactly. Why does he insist on making him strictly a phantom. Hes arguably one of the best designed characters
Yeah I wish he'd give up on that idea, I've never liked it, he's not gonna recapture the energy Jaws had, thats a type of movie that can only be made once.
yea the whole shadow thing is doesn't excite me , spawn is one of the best designed heroes ever created and that character needs to be seen not in the shadows, also not happy at all about jamie is playing himm
@@eliminator173because he is a supernatural character
If they do make a new Spawn movie, I wish it was you. You are Spawn in my eyes, favorite comic I have Followed. and yes I loved the spawn movie.
Vin Diesel put up his own house to make Riddick so I don't know what Vlad talking bout lol
Riddick was still a good movie.
Not to mention he bought the rights and put up his money for fast and the furious and now he is a billionare
@@Ty81494 you mean millionaire lol?
@@joseph2770 nope billion with a B look it up
@@Ty81494 He a millionaire I look it up
Omari Hardwick would be an amazing Al Simmons/Spawn. I want a petition for a live action show on HBO with him as Spawn. He was epic in Power. That is who I would cast.
He has a better chance playing Black Lightning in the DCEU.
He wouldn’t be a bad choice at all! He kinda has that aura MJW got as the character!
Nah I'd rather have him as the DCEU's John Stewart
Yeah I think Omari would be the perfect Spawn hands down.
Spawn was ahead of it’s time. Deadass. I love that damn movie and watched it on VHS until the film busted out the side and I couldn’t wide it up no more😂😂
Am I tripping or is Vlad trying to school Mike on film making smh.
Spawn is a classic 😎
Michael brings up good points. Todd’s skillset isn’t screenwriting or directing. All his comments just don’t sell the movie: you don’t see Spawn that much, dark hard R rated movie with zero humor? No studio is going to hire somebody who’s never directed or written a film to direct this reboot. He needs to hire a screenwriter to help polish the script.
He was great in the original, I always loved that movie.
I was just a white kid in iowa when I first saw spawn as a kid and Mike is al Simmons to me. Spawn has been and forever will be my favorite comic character n he did an amazing job as spawn. Hope he knows he made his mark.
Mjw would've made a great Luke Cage or Bishop from X-Men....🤔
MJW was my first choice for Luke Cage and I'm sure he was considered. he probably cost more than they wanted to pay as a more established actor.
@@reimourrpower9357 he was who I saw playing the character too...he has the swag that Mike couture wasn't able to pull off....also Idris Ilba should've been black panther
Badass war machine
Your Spawn your the very first black superhero I ever saw
I pray this movie comes out amazing and mind-blowing. Patient fans deserve it.
It’s a really popular time to bring back spawn. Spawns in Mk11
George Lucas spent his own money for phantom menace
That’s pretty fucking badass
This video is very informative. Video streaming on sites such as RUclips and tubi is excellent because it gets tons of views and help make revenue for the actors and film company.
Video streaming also compensate for illegal downloads.
Get him in on another interview, Glad!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 Honestly, hes a good person to shoot thoughts back and forth to!
Yea I'm always was interested in what he's going to say🤣
Glad?
I am a huge fan of his work and truly admire more his intelligence. Great actor! I swear I saw him in California (Sierra Lakes Golf Club) and he’s huge.
Spawn is a cult classic. I watch it to this day but it was john leguizamo and his character that made this movie.
You were the best spawn sir
Michael is right in the video. Todd McFarlane is not a film director and probably why the 1st film was different than the HBO series. Todd mentioned he was arguing with the director on which direction to take it with the 1st fim. But I guess Todd needs to learn how to co-direct I guess. 😂
He's so right McFarland needs to get out of his own way and just let someone take over there's so many competent screenwriters and directors they can take this source material and elevate it to something great. The clock's ticking the comic trend in movies are not going to last forever so he's wasting this perfect timing in film.
You still need do Spawn!
The first half of the original spawn movie was probably the best comic book movie I've ever seen. The last half bored me to death. The back story the training should have been more in depth. The old mans back story should have been more talked about as well.
The Occult stuff more prevalent, him being taught more about that. To give a better understanding of the Satanic underworld. Michael Jai White was perfect. Maybe my only critique would be to be more furious not just angry(think HBO punisher). John leguizamo was as well.
I didn't mind Martin Sheen. But I didnt care about his best friends story. It should have been more focused on the fight with Satan and Leguizamo. He should have got his revenge on Sheen quickly then went into the battle with Satan.
Spawn should never go to anyone else but Michael Jai White.
I can understand mjw frustration but people like mjw as spawn he was perfect
Vlad always patting himself on the back
MJW is my hero!!!
Spawn will never be the same without Michael Jai White period
That not True
Michael Jai white is the upmost gentleman!!!!!!
But isn’t MJW and Jamie about the same age tho?? Todd could’ve brought White back for this 🤬
It appears MJW now is more demanding as an established actor and probably demanded more creative control of the character. Jamie is a star & Oscar winner but is probably more willing to gamble at being a superhero.
Judging by the shit idea of a first draft, the entire premise of spawn being a shadow in the background..why would jai have been interestes in a sequel like that?
@@ryankilgore638 yea that premise is terrible. spawn is one of the best designed characters ever and Todd wants to hide him in the shadows?? im all for another spawn movie but it needs to be done by a professional screenwriter
@@TopFlightSecurity415 watch the show that’s how he was he lurked in the shadows in an alley
😂 vlad just had to add in "you know Vladtv is doing ok right now"
Mel Gibson.. funded the passion of the Christ
Big FACT'S..
What happened to his career soon after ... he was blackballed .. and the dude who played JC never worked in Hollywood again
@@Poundz978 Not gonna lie, him blowing up on his ex-wife was hilarious to me. I have a dark sense of humor, though. Lol
@@Poundz978 Jim Caviezel who played Jesus Christ has worked in quite a few films after his role in The Passion of Christ. Mel Gibson is still making movies. They may be low budget movie but he's not blackballed
@Freddie Flores -
Nah, Mel got blackballed, and to this day he's serving a soft blackball.
Michael jai white is Good man and Going to keep it real 😊
More Michael Jai White please.
Last comic writer who never had experience directing but had screenplay writing was Frank Miller. The movie is called the Spirit. That movie was super trash.
Great point.
But Frank is a comic book legend, he has the rep to pull something like that.
@@charlesblack9959 He had script writing experience remember he wrote Robocop the first one. He had a budget of 60 million. That movie didn't even make half that back.
I love Toddy, And I love Mike. Met him at wondercon years ago dressed in spawny costume. Great dude. But I have a problem with Toddy not revisiting this guy in the role. Look Force Awakens makes umpteen million billion dollars with same old actors. This guy should be in the new movie. Not revamp already a very good movie. An update. This guy's not old, not fat, not ugly. Fantastic actor. Made the movie for me. Try him out. Give him an audition for the new role. Can't hurt. Want to see again. In UPDATED version. Very fartworthy interview. It's the same with his action figure dolly company. Love the stactues he used to put out. But the fans, and me cried 'Give us updated modern engineering with articulation points' Now his action figure, dolly company has made the mark and is once again on top of the market. Way to go Toddy.
I really liked that Spawn, ima watch it today 🔥💯
Mel Gibson Put His Own Money Up! A Lot Too! Can’t Believe Ya Ain’t Catch That💯
Imagine him as spawn/blade…such a passionate actor/artist…
Are we going to talk about the fact that JAIME FOX is playing in ROLES that M.J.WH. played before..? TYSON, SPAWN.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! 😒😒😒🤣🤣🤣
I MEAN....Good luck.......😀😃😄ijs
Michael Jai White play the hell out of spawn back in the day. Hell even if he got the roll again he will still be able to do it the second-best spawn actor back in the day was on the Animated Series these two play the best spawn I can't remember his name but I remember his face he playing in so many movies and in fact he played in the Independence day and tell from the Hood 2 as the main antagonist.
Gorge Lucas paid out of pocket for empire strikes back & return of the jedi.
I don’t understand how MJW has a better understanding of who spawn is and what his story is all about more than Todd McFarlane himself. But it’s not surprising
If Michael Jai White isn’t going to be on the new Spawn movie, Is not going to sell.
Michael Jai White, is the original Spawn, stick with Michael Jai White, Jamie Fox isn’t fit for the roll as Spawn.
Michael is the one.
An interview that never ends
MJW should come back as spawn in my opinion because he is that good of an actor
True
They need to get Jai White into a decently sized budge action flick, maybe in one of those super hero movies.
Michael should play John Stewart the black green lantern, I wouldn’t mind seeing him play blue marvel or X-men Bishop.
Michael was Spawn. Screw Jamie Foxx
Why has VLADtv never asked MJW about at Blood and Bone prequel!!!
I love that movie.....
Mjw's Spawn was good for its time. If it was made post batman begins it would be awesome
Could not agree more AMC theaters might just disappear just like all the other companies that disappeared over 20 years ago a lot has changed due to covid in the film industry and the TV industry are now in competition with the streaming industry. If you're not digitally streaming then you're considered old tech, an old tech is not getting any attention unfortunately.
He isn't wrong. Michael is a smart man. Todd needs to get James Cameron or Christopher Nolan to help make this movie happen. I don't care what film industry they have to get through to make it happen lol.
George Lucas put up money for starwars
If Todd is worth 300 million dollars and has never directed a movie, put your own money up. I have a bad feeling about this movie and I LOVE SPAWN
It's amazing knowing everything I like "sucked" according to how much money it made, maybe I should buy 10x what I like to support it from now on so it can be "good"
Michael Jai White is definitely correct about Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane. take the spawn project to either Amazon prime or Netflix or maybe Sony. Make it an ongoing series they'll give him at least one season to start with which is usually what they give everybody and he should have at least six episodes, from there he'll make his money and his investment and return that is the most fiscally and financially Smart Way to handle spawn. IMHO .
I don’t think I wanna see mike in the new spawn but I do wanna see him in . Black panther two or when they decide to make green lantern black again
If Michael Jai ain’t Spawn..I’m not watching it
Would've preferred Michael jai white.. but fuck that we need the animated series back
He should let Jordan Peele write it and work with him that would be fire!!!!
right on the money
Does Todd just randomly call Michael every so often and talk about doing another Spawn movie?
I got mad respect for big Mike I swear before I die I gta work with him once my bucketlist
