Jon Watts In Final Talks To Return As Director Of Third ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Movie – Deadline, Deadline.com


EXCLUSIVE:WithSonyand Disney /Marvelhaving agreedto co-financing terms on the thirdSpider-Man Homecomingmovie Friday, it should come as no surprise to hear thatJon Wattsis in talks to return to the $ 2 billion-grossing franchise he directed. This is great news for fans of the series as it means continuity.

The hope we hear from sources is that Watts ’deal will be wrapped soon. Essentially, Sony and Disney / Marvel sought to hammer out their co-financing agreement on the third Spidey pic first, before turning their attention to re-upping Watts.

At the time the Sony-Disney battle went down last month, Watts didn’t have a deal for the nextSpider-Manpicture and he wasn’t a lock to return.

Kevin Feige has a knack for choosing innovative voices in independent cinema to steer his Marvel movies. Watts was chosen off his 2015 Kevin Bacon movieCop Carwhich made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. He delivered a fun, boyish spirit to the third reiteration ofSpider-Man,which the previous reboot by Sony lacked in its gloomy tone .

Watts’Spider-Man: Homecomingdelivered an $ 880 million worldwide gross to Sony, while this past July’sSpider-Man:Far From Homewas the Culver City lot’s highest-grossing pic ever with $ 1. 13 billion worldwideThe firstHomecomingis estimated to have profited $ 200 M after all ancillaries. Amy Pascal will also produceHomecoming 3through Pascal Pictures.

Watts is repped by CAA and Bloom Hergott.

As reported this morning, after months of negotiations, Disney will fund 25 % of the thirdSpider-Man: Homecomingfor a 25% equity stake, while Sony continues to get a distribution fee. The Tom Holland Spider-Man character will then be seen in another Disney / Marvel movie.
