It looks like Marvel has finally found a director for Spider-Man 4 in a familiar face – Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton.
There’s long been talk of a potential Spider-Man 4, including from the current incarnation of the character Tom Holland himself, but not much has been set in stone for it so far. That appears to be changing though, as The Hollywood Reporter shared yesterday that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton is currently in talks to direct Spider-Man 4. It doesn’t sound like things are 100% locked in quite yet, though this is the closest Marvel appears to have gotten with signing on a director – it was reported earlier this year that Fast & Furious director Justin Lin was being eyed-up for it, but that appears to have not worked out.
Of course, Cretton’s involvement does leave one big question: does he even have time for it? The director is meant to be working on Shang-Chi 2, as well as a live-action adaptation of Naruto that was supposedly meant to be coming before the Marvel sequel – he was also attached to direct The Kang Dynasty before Marvel shifted gears towards Doctor Doom.
