I’m told that Ed Ricourt has been hired to write a Nightwatch movie for Sony and Marvel that will be set in the Spider-Man universe…
[I’m] pretty confident that Sony is developing a Nightwatch movie, that Ed Ricourt is going to write it, but here’s the kick, and this is not confirmed by any stretch: I hear Sony wants Spike Lee to direct it.
Adding to this speculation is the fact that Marvel introduced Nightwatch less than a year after McFarlane left to start his own comic book company.
Back in 2016, it was reported by Bleeding Cool that Sony employees had quietly begun buying up old copies of the Nightwatch run, leading to the rumor that Kevin Trench and/or Nightwatch would cameo briefly in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
