It appears to be like like Marvel has lastly discovered a director for Spider-Man 4 in a well-recognized face – Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton.
There’s lengthy been discuss of a possible Spider-Man 4, together with from the present incarnation of the character Tom Holland himself, however not a lot has been set in stone for it to date. That seems to be altering although, as The Hollywood Reporter shared yesterday that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton is presently in talks to direct Spider-Man 4. It would not sound like issues are 100% locked in fairly but, although that is the closest Marvel seems to have gotten with signing on a director – it was reported earlier this 12 months that Quick & Livid director Justin Lin was being eyed-up for it, however that seems to haven’t labored out.
After all, Cretton’s involvement does depart one massive query: does he even have time for it? The director is supposed to be engaged on Shang-Chi 2, in addition to a live-action adaptation of Naruto that was supposedly meant to be coming earlier than the Marvel sequel – he was additionally connected to direct The Kang Dynasty earlier than Marvel shifted gears in the direction of Physician Doom.
In response to Selection, Spider-Man 4 is presently a precedence for Marvel Studios, so to be sincere it sounds such as you’ll have to attend even longer for each Shang-Chi 2 and the live-action Naruto movie if Kevin Feige will get his manner.
It was at all times fairly clear that Holland was going to be concerned in Spider-Man 4, given that he’s Spider-Man, however Deadline has reported that each he and Zendaya are presently additionally speaking with execs and producers, with new offers more likely to be on the way in which for them quickly.
Spider-Man 4 would clearly be a heavy hitter for each Marvel Studios and Sony, with the third movie No Means Dwelling having raked in virtually $2 billion on the field workplace (it is the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time, by the way in which). A fourth movie may not do fairly as effectively, however with the tough few years the MCU has been having, Marvel sort of must have a swing and never a miss.
