Washington: Actor Jamie Foxx has been roped in to star in the upcoming superhero film ‘Spawn’.

Foxx will play the role of Al Simmons, a black-ops agent who is betrayed and murdered, with his soul sent to hell for all the innocents he killed, reported Variety.

While there, he makes a deal with a demon who allows him to return to the earthly plane and his wife. However, five years have now passed and his wife has moved on, while he is a disfigured and super-powered spawn of hell.
