  • Marvel and Sony Have a List of Directors to Helm SPIDER-MAN



    It doesn't look like The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard will be directing the new Spider-Man film franchise after all. It was rumored a couple months ago that he would be writing and directing the film, but now Deadline has posted a list of new directors that Marvel and Sony are looking at to possibly take on the next solo Spider-Man film.

    Those directors include Jonathan Levine (50/50,Warm Bodies); Ted Melfi (St. Vincent); Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect); John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein (Vacation reboot); and Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite).

    I think all of these directors are solid choices. They've all made great films in their day, but if I had to choose one I'd go with Jonathan Levine, he just seems to have a lot of range. He's directed comedy, drama, and genre films so I think he has the talent to inject all of the things that would make Spider-Man a great movie.

    The film is said to be getting the title Spider-Man: The First Avenger, and apparently there is a story arc being planned over the course of three or four movies, each of them covering a year of high school for Peter Parker. Thankfully, it will skip the origin story. The tone producers are looking for is said to be a coming of age story filled with John Hughes type humor and emotion.

    Which director on the list would you like to see take on the project?
