Superhero movies are all the rage at the moment and each new day a new franchise seems to be taking shape. The latest headline-grabber being Todd McFarlane's cinematic reboot of 'Spawn', a comic book-based adaptation which has McFarlane serving as both the director and co-producer. With the creative side of the project more or less fixed, the next task was to find the cast and thankfully for fans, 'Spawn' movie has found its lead in none other than actor Jamie Foxx. 

Alongside superhero movie veteran, Jeremy Renner (who will be filling in the shoes of Twitch), Foxx has been confirmed for the titular role, a feat that in the actor's own words took him years to achieve.
