One of theMarvel Cinematic Universeactors from Tom Holland’sSpider-Manmovies breaks their silence on the latestSpider-Man 4director news. The world has patiently been waiting forMarvel and Sony’sSpider-Man 4to finally become a reality following the massive success ofSpider-Man: No Way Homein 2021. As of this week, a bigupdate on the director search forSpider-Man 4is putting the sequel on the right track to getting closer to beginning production in 2025.
In an exclusive interview withScreen Rantwhile promotingLego Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy, MCU alum Tony Revolori was asked about his thoughts on Destin Daniel Cretton boardingSpider-Man 4as the director. Revolori, who played Flash Thompson in Holland’sSpider-Mantrilogy, had nothing but praise for the filmmaker, sharing the following:
Oh, man. I’ve been a big fan of his since Short Term 12. He’s incredible. I think he’s an incredible filmmaker, and he did such a great job with Shang-Chi, and I’m excited. I think he has a young adult sensibility to him, which is so awesome and cool. And I think it’s so needed for a character like Spider-Man, so I’m just beyond excited to see him do it. I didn’t even know that! This is the first time I’m hearing about it. That’s awesome. Great.
As for what I could do? Who knows, but to be honest, I would happy to join up with those people again. It was so much fun the first time.
What Tony Revolori’s Comments Mean For Spider-Man 4
Revolori’s excitement for Cretton taking on theMCUSpider-Manmovieis a shared sentiment, especially as this begins the next step of Holland’s Peter Parker saga. Having a filmmaker with a so-called"young adult sensibility,“as Revolori described it, for a character like Spider-Man is only fitting, especially sinceSpider-Man 4will now focus on Peter after high school and in his college years. However, Cretton has already made a name for himself in the MCU with bothShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsand the upcomingWonder ManTV show, making him very familiar with the franchise at this point.
One of the best aspects of Cretton’s work onShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringswas the action, as it brought a new and refreshing style to the MCU. With Spider-Man being such a physical character, Cretton could add a unique approach to Holland’s web-slinger, perhaps something that hasn’t even been explored in past Spider-Man incarnations in live-action. This could also work in favor of the film, especially ifSpider-Man 4has a very street-level storyinvolving other New York heroes.
Time will tell when Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios will start revealing who is joining and returning as part of theSpider-Man 4cast outside of Holland. If production is meant to start in early 2025, that likely means reports will start emerging throughout the rest of 2024, as the two studios are likely to still finalize a lot of deals. Hopefully, more exciting details aboutSpider-Man 4will start to roll out sooner rather than later.
