The Spider-Man 4 director has officially been found, with THR reporting that Destin Daniel Cretton has been tapped to direct the next entry in the MCU franchise.
Cretton, who also directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for Marvel Studios, will be the fourth director to tackle a Spider-Man solo film. Jon Watts directed all three Spider-Man entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will see his latest film with Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Wolfs, release this year.
Prior to his attachment to Spider-Man 4, Cretton was previously tapped to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty for Marvel Studios following his work on Shang-Chi. However, the director stepped away from the project last year, and it has since been entirely overhauled, with the film now titled Avengers: Doomsday and directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.
