Spider-Man 4 is about to swing into action, and guess what? We finally have a director! Cue dramatic drumroll.
Tom Holland is back at it again, slinging webs and cracking wise as everyone’s favorite wall-crawler in the latest cinematic chapter of his spider-saga. It’s like déjà vu, but with more acrobatics and fewer spider-bites.
So here’s the scoop: Sam Raimi used to be the guy behind the Tobey Maguire trilogy. Marc Webb got his hands sticky with Andrew Garfield’s films. And Jon Watts—remember him?—was the mastermind behind Tom Holland’s last three adventures. But Jon’s hanging up his web-shooters for this one, so who’s taking over the director’s chair? Drumroll, please!
Enter Destin Daniel Cretton, the genius who brought us Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Apparently, he’s in talks to direct the next Spidey flick, according to some Hollywood chatterboxes (a.k.a. The Hollywood Reporter). We’re crossing our fingers he doesn’t accidentally give Spider-Man a ten-ring makeover.
And let’s not forget the dynamic duo, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who are dusting off their keyboards to write the script. These guys penned No Way Home, which made enough money to buy a small country (or at least a really big pizza), grossing over $1.9 billion worldwide. No pressure, guys!
So get ready to strap in for more spider-tastic adventures! Who knows? Maybe Spidey will finally figure out how to do laundry without turning his suit into a disaster zone.
