It’s created and executive-produced by director Jon Watts and writer Chris Ford, who made ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ for Marvel.
Jon Watts is off of Fantastic Four, but he’s not wasting any time.
That being said, we do know that he was auditioning some kids around the ages of 11 and 12.
Like Stranger Things, the show is said to be heavily influenced by Steven Spielberg’s adventure films of the ’80s, like The Goonies and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
