Spidey is rumored to make his first MCU appearance in Captain America: Civil War before launching a new reboot of his own franchise, the first installment hitting theaters July 28, 2017.
The studios also announced Sundance director Jon Watts (Cop Car) will helm the next solo Spider-Man film. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige said, “As with James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), Joss Whedon (The Avengers), and the Russo brothers (Captain America), we love finding new and exciting voices to bring these characters to life. We spent a lot of time with Jon and find his take and work inspiring.”
Humble brag! Anyway, while we wait for 2017, keep your eyes on the Civil War set. Maybe we’ll get our first look at Peter Parker sooner than expected...
