Jon Watts has entered negotiations with Warner Bros. to “re-develop” and direct Methuselah with star Michael B. Jordan, according to Deadline.
An undeniable rising star like Jordan may indeed be enough to finally get this project out of development purgatory and into production.
For those unaware, Watts previously directed Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, and is deep in post-production on its sequel, Spider-Man: Far from Home, due out this summer.
Prior to Spidey, Watts directed Cop Car and the thriller Clown, along with a number of short films.
