Marvel "confirms" it's moving on from Spidey veteran for Spider-Man 4

As a devoted fan of the Spider-Man franchise, I can’t help but be excited about the upcoming fourth installment in Marvel’s web-slinging saga. The anticipation for this movie is palpable, especially after the mind-blowing events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” But recent news regarding the director of the film has left fans like me feeling a bit uneasy.

The upcoming fourth Spider-Man film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is generating immense excitement among fans, perhaps even surpassing that of other anticipated projects. Despite the ongoing Multiverse Saga and two upcoming Avengers movies, the success and cliffhanger ending of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” have left Spidey enthusiasts eager for Tom Holland’s return as the MCU’s Spider-Man for another significant journey.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are now mapping out the next installment in the Spider-Man saga, which is believed to initiate a fresh trilogy for the character. Yet, there have been whispers that one key figure behind the Spider-Man: Homecoming series might be absent from this upcoming film.

Kevin Feige says Spider-Man 4 will “probably” have a new director

According to Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios’ president, there will be a search for a new director to helm “Spider-Man 4,” implying that Jon Watts won’t be part of the project anymore. During an interview with CinemaBlend for the promotion of “Deadpool and Wolverine,” he made these remarks.

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.

After several months of rumors about Watts not rejoining the franchise for its next edition, it makes sense that he would be unavailable given his current commitments. He is slated to direct episodes for Disney Plus’ “Skeleton Crew,” as well as the upcoming “Wolfs” film featuring George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

The impact of his work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe is significant, having directed “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019), and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021). These films have been major box office successes for the franchise, with the latest one currently ranking as the seventh highest-grossing movie ever made. At a certain point, he was also slated to helm “Fantastic Four,” but ultimately shifted his attention towards other projects instead.

I was excitedly anticipating Jon Watts’ return to direct the next installment in the Spider-Man series. However, whispers of his possible departure surfaced earlier this year, leaving fans like me feeling uncertain. To add fuel to the fire, Watts himself fueled the rumors during an interview with Collider when he gave advice to the “next Spider-Man director.” Since then, numerous rumors have emerged about potential new directors taking charge of Peter Parker’s journey ahead.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve heard some intriguing rumors about who might take over from Watts as the next big name in gaming. Insiders are whispering that it could be none other than Sam Raimi! This legendary director is no stranger to my favorite characters and worlds, having brought them to life in all three of the original Spider-Man movies with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Plus, he’s recently collaborated with Marvel Studios on “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” It’s an exciting prospect!

There are other well-known figures besides him who have been linked to the director role for Spider-Man. Among them are Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the scriptwriters of “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Furthermore, rumors mentioned Justin Lin, James Wan, and Drew Goddard as possible candidates as well.

The speculation about Jon Watts leaving the Spider-Man film series persists, and recent remarks from Feige seem to support this claim. If true, Watts will have much to be proud of – his contribution was instrumental in turning Spider-Man into a significant player in the MCU, culminating in one of the biggest movies ever made which brought together three Spider-Men on screen. What an impressive exit!
