SincetheSpider-Man 4script is being written,a director will likely be tapped once they have completed the screenplaybefore they proceed to look at casting and filming dates. Whether or not a director will be hired by the end of the year remains to be seen, but it is a possibility. With that in mind, there have been various rumors about who may actually directSpider-Man 4.Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have yet to comment on or debunk those reports.
After having worked onMs. Marvelfor Marvel Studios, there have been rumors about Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah possibly directingSpider-Man 4. While they haven’t given a solid answer about whether they are truly talking to Marvel,El Arbi and Fallah would be a solid fit forSpider-Man 4. If it’s true thatSpider-Man 4will be a more grounded story, with a bigger focus on Peter’s street-level adventures, Fallah and El Arbi would be perfect.
El Arbi and Fallah are also known for directing the two most recentBad Boysmovies, indicating their experience with more realistic action sequences.
The big question, however, is if Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures will make a shared announcement at next week’s San Diego Comic-Con event.Having aSpider-Man 4surprise at San Diego Comic-Con would be fitting, especially since there has been very little concrete news about the sequel. WithMarvel expected to outlinetheir revised conclusion to the Multiverse Saga, a fresh, official update on Holland’s next MCU outing could come sooner rather than later.
