Things have been developing quickly for Sony and Marvel’s reboot of Spider-Man. Excitement that the webslinger would finally be joining his fellow Avengers has been growing ever since the two studios made the decision to share the character. Jon Watts (Cop Car) was named as director of the film, with Tom Holland winning producers Amy Pascal (Sony) and Kevin Feige (Marvel) over during the audition process. Marisa Tomei also joins the cast as a much younger Aunt May.

Vacation and Horrible Bossses scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein were recently confirmed to write the script, and described Peter Parker as “a sharp kid and witty” kid who “kind of deals with the fact that he’s an outcast and a geek through humor.” Now Watts is talking about his plans for Marvel’s Spider-Man. Check out what he had to say below.

Vacation and Horrible Bossses scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein were among Sony’s top choices to direct their new Spider-Man film. Although the Jon Watts (Cop Car) got the job, the two were then tapped to write the screenplay. Now the pair has confirmed that they are on board to script the Spider-Man reboot, and promises that their version of the webslinger will be wittier and funnier than previous cinematic incarnations.

Find out what they had to say about the tone and the humor of the upcoming film here below.

Sony and Marvel Studios cast Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man a few weeks back. It was also announced then that the movie would be directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), though it wasn’t clear if he would also pen the script.

Previous reports said that Sony had met with a team of writers during their search for a director. Now it appears that they have settled on the Vacation reboot writing and directing team of John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein to pen the script for the rebooted Spider-Man franchise.

Sony Pictures has chosen their actor to become the next Spider-Man for their re-reboot of the franchise now that Marvel is involved creatively.

After many names had been mentioned as potential candidates for the role, it’s 19-year-old Tom Holland who has emerged as Sony’s pick for the gig. It was said that Ender’s Game and Hugo star Asa Butterfield was the frontrunner at one point, but that changed recently when it was reported that it was down to Holland, Charlie Plummer, and Matthew Lintz.

In addition to casting Holland, Sony has also chosen Jon Watts to direct the next Spider-Man movie.

At first it looked like Asa Butterfield was going to get the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the upcoming reboot. For the past couple of weeks, actors have been testing for the role since filming for Captain America: Civil War started last month, with many reporting that Butterfield was one of the major frontrunners. However, with no official confirmation from either Marvel or Sony, it looks like the casting process is a bit more problematic.

Now comes word that the Ender’s Game actor may not be under consideration anymore, and that Tom Holland (The Impossible), Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire), and Matthew Lintz (Pixels) are the new frontrunners for Spider-Man. It also appears that Marvel Studios and Sony are unable to come to an agreement as to who could play the webslinger.
