Spider-Man 4: Destin Daniel Cretton Eyed To Direct, Tom Holland Returning

Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters almost three years ago, and it's been a long time since we've heard any word about the next adventure of Spider-Man. But now, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is in talks to helm Spider-Man 4 for Marvel Studios and Sony. And the film may begin shooting very soon.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel and Sony are planning to film the sequel early next year. Tom Holland will be back as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and the screenwriting team of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are also returning for the new film.

Assuming Cretton closes his deal, he will be only the fourth Spider-Man live-action director since the original film was released in 2002. Sam Raimi helmed the first Spider-Man trilogy, while Marc Webb tackled the two Amazing Spider-Man films. More recently, Jon Watts directed his own Spider-Man trilogy with Holland.
