Spawn encounters a clown-like demon named <a href="/wiki/Violator_(comics)" title="Violator (comics)">Violator</a>, sent by Malebolgia, who acts as his guide down the path to evil. Spawn also meets and befriends a young homeless boy named Zack and a mysterious old man named <a href="/wiki/Cogliostro" title="Cogliostro">Cogliostro</a>, a fellow Hellspawn who has successfully freed his soul and now fights for <a href="/wiki/Heaven" title="Heaven">Heaven</a>. Spawn learns that Wynn is now a weapons dealer and has developed a <a href="/wiki/Biological_agent" title="Biological agent">biological weapon</a> called Heat 16.

Malebolgia wants Simmons to kill Wynn and initiate the apocalypse. Spawn confronts Violator, who turns into his demonic form and beats him down. Cogliostro rescues him and teaches him how to use his necroplasm armor with Zack. Spawn learns that Violator and Wynn are going to kill Terry, Cyan, and Wanda. </p><p>Terry sends an email incriminating Wynn to a fellow newsman. Just as the email is sent, Cyan and Wynn enter the room. Wynn destroys Terry's computer and takes the family hostage. Spawn, Cogliostro and Zack arrive and nearly kill Wynn, but Spawn extracts the device from Wynn's body instead and destroys it. With his plan foiled, Violator sends Spawn and Cogliostro to Hell, where they both battle the demon before subduing him. Spawn is then confronted by Malebolgia, and tells the demon that he will never lead Hell's army. Spawn escapes with Cogliostro just before they are overwhelmed by Malebolgia's forces. Violator, having recovered, follows them. A final battle ensues, ending with Spawn decapitating the demon with his chains. Violator's head taunts the group and threatens his return before melting and returning to Hell. Wynn is arrested by two detectives, and Spawn, realizing there is no place for him in Wanda's world anymore, dedicates himself to justice rather than succumbing to his lust for vengeance and returns to the streets with Cogliostro and Zack. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Spawn_(1997_film)&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG/220px-Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="275" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG/330px-Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG/440px-Michael_Jai_White_FD_2012_Shankbone.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1817" data-file-height="2271" /></a><figcaption>Michael Jai White</figcaption></figure> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Jai_White" title="Michael Jai White">Michael Jai White</a> as CIA Agent <a href="/wiki/Spawn_(character)" title="Spawn (character)">Al Simmons / Spawn</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Leguizamo" title="John Leguizamo">John Leguizamo</a> as <a href="/wiki/Violator_(comics)" title="Violator (comics)">Clown / Violator</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Martin_Sheen" title="Martin Sheen">Martin Sheen</a> as CIA Director <a href="/wiki/Jason_Wynn" title="Jason Wynn">Jason Wynn</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Theresa_Randle" title="Theresa Randle">Theresa Randle</a> as <a href="/wiki/Wanda_Blake" class="mw-redirect" title="Wanda Blake">Wanda Blake</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nicol_Williamson" title="Nicol Williamson">Nicol Williamson</a> as <a href="/wiki/Cogliostro" title="Cogliostro">Nicholas Cogliostro</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/D._B._Sweeney" title="D.
