Cult comic book anti-hero Spawn could appear in NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat X but this will be completely up to the developer, according to creator Todd McFarlane in an interview with GamerFitNation.

As McFarlane states, “They have access to be able to use the character in a couple of their games, if they want to.” This is as per a deal the studio has with Warner Bros. Interactive. “Again, it’s up to their discretion. I gave them a window of time, so I’ll just leave it to them to do what it is that they want.

“Eventually, they’ll phone me and they’ll go, ‘Hey, we want to use him here. Is that OK?’ Well, technically, it’s OK because we’ve already said yes. They just are letting us know. I don’t know if they’re ever going to use him.”
