While at SDCC2023, Screen Rant spoke to ToddMcFarlane about McFarlaneToys' upcoming Arrowverse figures, the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike's effect on the eventual Spawn movie, and the 25th anniversary of his Pearl Jam music video:
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Todd McFarlane has made an indelible mark on nerd culture. He has been a powerhouse in comics, creating the hero Spawn and helping to found Image Comics. He has also become a tent pole in the collectible community with his company, McFarlane Toys, with collectibles from across brands including DC Comics, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Spawn, and Critical Role.
I'm going to tell you, Todd, the reason I love your figures so much is the price point. But the way that they look, they're such beautiful pieces that you can display around anywhere in my house. It's phenomenal. I saw that you guys just released the Catman action figure. These collectors' editions look gorgeous.
Do you guys plan on doing any more DC past films, whether they be the Batman films or the Christopher Reeves Superman or anything like that? This was Eddie saying, "We're getting pressure from the record label. They want us to do a music video. It's been a long time since we did one, but we don't want to be in it." I'm like, "Wow. That's the opposite." "But Todd, I was just watching at that time..." This is how far back we're going, "I was watching your HBO Spawn. And the bell went off going, 'We just animate it. We don't have to be in our own video.
We dug it. Because again, like I said, it had to be through all time, space, and dimension. We start literally with an amoeba. The black, and then the first amoeba split. And then eventually, you get through, and this happens to just convey the prehistoric time. And then it fast forwards and eventually you get into the dark ages, medieval, modern. And then we go into the future.
Todd McFarlane: This is an odd moment, and I still think about it in my head that Eddie is a big baseball nut, coming from the Seattle area, whatever else. He came to the editing bay. It was this row of houses. And he was there every day, every day helping us with the editing. But he came with this little briefcase every day. I thought it was professional for a guy who was dressed in black and looking like a dude.
But Eddie's out there playing catch. Now of course he's going, "Oh, Todd's a stud. He played baseball. I'm going to keep up with him. I'm going to keep up with him." But Eddie, he had black boots, black pants, black shirt, and he was smoking. He's all dressed in black and catches. And about 15 minutes into it, I was like, "Eddie," I could see he was going to pass out, but he wasn't going to give because that's just that macho thing.
