Michael Jai White expressed his disappointment with the 1997 film "Spawn" after its release. Originally expecting the movie to closely mirror the dark tones of the comic series, White was disheartened by the final iteration, which he felt diluted the story. Despite the film’s cult classic status, White revealed that major story elements were altered, likely due to pressures from the MPAA. These changes led to a less gritty and intense portrayal than he had envisioned. White highlighted the strict censorship at the time, driven by concerns about the movie’s themes of heaven and hell, contrasting it with the leniency shown to films like "The Exorcist." White is hopeful for future iterations, emphasizing that any new "Spawn" movie should embrace its dark roots. Reflecting on his career, White also touched upon his untapped potential to play darker, more "evil" characters, suggesting that he could deliver more intense performances if given the chance.
