Spider-Man 4 is pretty far away from starting production but the film is highly anticipated amongst fans who wish to see what is next for Tom Holland’s web-slinger. However, fans are curious to know if Jon Watts, the director of Holland’s first three Spidey flicks will return to the directing chair once more or if someone else like Drew Goddard will helm the new installment.
Is Jon Watts going to direct Spider-Man 4?
Jon Watts has not been officially confirmed to direct Spider-Man 4 as of this writing.
As of this writing, Jon Watts is not confirmed to be directing Spider-Man 4. While Jon Watts was reportedly expected to helm Spider-Man 4 since April 2022 by Sony Pictures, who also expected Tom Holland and Zendaya to reprise their roles of Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and MJ, following his exit from the MCU Fantastic Four reboot, that is reportedly not the case anymore as according to a new scoop for semi-reliable industry insider Daniel RPK, Watts is not a lock on for Spider-Man 4 as Kevin Feige and Sony are looking at someone else to take the gig, presumably Drew Goddard.
Is Drew Goddard going to direct Spider-Man 4?
Drew Goddard has not been confirmed to direct Spider-Man 4, as of publishing.
According to Daniel RPK, Drew Goddard is reportedly being considered by Kevin Feige and Sony for Spider-Man 4 directorial duties alongside other directors. However, please take this with a grain of salt as with other rumors as this has not been officially confirmed.
Despite the lack of confirmation, Drew Goddard would no doubt be a good pick for Spider-Man 4. Tom Holland has revealed multiple times that he wanted Spider-Man 4 and subsequent films to have a more grounded and mature tone. Goddard has proven to be an excellent pick to tell this type of story thanks to his work on Charlie Cox’s Daredevil series, which is hailed as one of the most mature and grounded Marvel shows to ever exist.
