Spike, aka Foreman Spike, is actually a character from the Famicom/NES game Wrecking Crew. Now, if the name Spike isn’t ringing any bells for you, rest assured it’s a pretty deep cut from Nintendo. That being said, it seems we can pretty safely assume the rest of the film has been cast and production is officially underway.
