Following the Sundance premiere of his critically-acclaimed sophomore feature, Cop Car, director Jon Watts was brought on board to take the helm of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
He provided fans with a great Spidey full of energy and spirit… but we’re not quite sure right now if he’ll get the chance to do it again.
It was a decision met with a good deal of head-scratching, given Watts’ lack of experience with big projects — but he wound up proving all doubters wrong.
At the beginning of 2018, during Brazil’s Comic-Con, reports came out that Kevin Feige announced Watts’ return as director during the Marvel panel, but no official news on the subject had come out by June 2018.
