| ‘Spider-Man’ Reboot Director Jon Watts Talks His Vision Of The Webslinger

From 2010 onward, the development will be recounted as it was covered by several writers here at Geeks of Doom over the years, myself included.

Previous reports said that Sony had met with a team of writers during their search for a director.
