That all ties straight back to Simmons' origins as Spawn. A skilled assassin for the CIA in life, Simmons was betrayed and killed by his handlers, only to awaken in Hell where he pledged his soul to the demon known as Malebolgia in exchange for his symbiotic, weaponized costume and his magical powers, which will someday be depleted.
Simmons' story, spanning hundreds of issues of Spawn and its spin-offs, centers around finding his true place in the war between good and evil as a hero who can potentially defy his hellish nature and turn the tide for good.
King Spawn represents the culmination of Simmons' destiny, so it perhaps makes sense that the new film, the character’s first live action adaptation since 1997, will also take the leap to the end of that saga.
