Summary:
- Jon Watts, director of the successful Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy, won’t be returning for the fourth installment.
- While praised for his work, Watts’ busy schedule with other projects has led to the decision.
- Marvel Studios is now searching for a new director to helm the next chapter in Peter Parker’s story.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has confirmed that Jon Watts, the director behind the successful Spider-Man trilogy starring Tom Holland, will not be returning for the upcoming Spider-Man 4.
In an interview with CinemaBlend, Feige praised Watts’ work on the previous films but acknowledged that the director is currently busy with other projects. Watts is set to direct the upcoming film Wolfs starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, as well as episodes for the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew.
We love Jon. Jon did three of the best Spider-Man films ever for us. He’s got lots of things going on now. So we’ll probably be looking for somebody else, just because he’s busy.
With Watts out, the search for a new director for Spider-Man 4 is now underway. Names like Sam Raimi (the original Spider-Man trilogy director) and the duo Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi (known for Ms. Marvel) have been mentioned as potential candidates.
This change in direction for the Spider-Man franchise comes as fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in Peter Parker‘s story, following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
While the search for a new director continues, excitement for Spider-Man 4 remains high, with many hoping to see the introduction of new characters and storylines.
