'Spider-Man' trilogy director has this advice for 'Spider-Man 4' successor
Jon Watts—director of the Spider-Man trilogy—shared some valuable insights for his successor set to direct Spider-Man 4. The fourth installment in the Spider-Man saga is eagerly awaited by fans after the thrilling end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. This upcoming film promises a fresh storyline for Peter Parker, with Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios working diligently on its development. However, details about its filming schedule and release date are still confidential.
'You think 'we're gonna do it all practical...It looks dumb'
During a recent interaction with Collider at CCXP in Mexico City, Watts was asked about any advice he might have for the director of Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4. "I have a very practical bit of Spider-Man advice...It doesn't look good when someone is just swinging on a rope." "You think 'we're gonna do it all practical. We're gonna get a stuntman.'...It's boring. It looks dumb. It looks like a monkey swinging on a vine. Don't waste your time...That's my advice."
How will 'Spider-Man 4' differ from MCU's previous trilogy?
In Holland's initial Spider-Man trilogy within the MCU, the stakes heightened rapidly as he faced increasingly perilous threats beyond New York City. While the plot of Spider-Man 4 is yet to be confirmed, it is speculated that the narrative will focus more on Peter's local adventures. The most significant departure from earlier films is the altered reality where Peter now resides—unknown to anyone following No Way Home. Peter now stands alone, his true identity concealed even from his closest confidants.
Anticipation builds for 'Spider-Man 4' filming and release
Rumors are circulating that Spider-Man 4 might commence filming this year, potentially aiming for a fall shoot. This film will mark the start of a new trilogy for Holland, which explains why Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are taking their time to finalize the specifics. Fans eagerly await further updates on Spider-Man 4 from Marvel and Sony.
