Following the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, anticipation is growing around the next chapter in Tom Holland’s journey as the web-slinging superhero. While Marvel Studios has not yet announced an official release date for the fifth installment, recent reports suggest that the director may already be chosen.
Deadline has revealed that Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed both Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is expected to helm Tom Holland’s upcoming Spider-Man 5. Although this information surfaced primarily during discussions about Cretton’s potential involvement in a ‘Hawaii Five-O’ movie, it marks a significant step forward in the development of the next Spider-Man film.
