Marvel Studios Press Release Reveals That SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Has Way More Writers Than Expected

Despite reports that Vacation writers and directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley were hired to pen Spider-Man: Homecoming, it turns out more people contributed to the screenplay than we realised.

Missed during the busy Comic-Con weekend, the press release from Marvel Studios which accompanied the first Spider-Man: Homecoming concept art has revealed that an awful lot of cooks have been in the reboot's kitchen. While it was thought that the team of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Horrible Bosses, Vacation) wrote the screenplay alone, we know now that director Jon Watts also contributed (his writing credits include the movies he's directed like Clown and Cop Car).

Christopher Ford worked on that draft alongside the filmmaker, and he actually teamed with Watts on the movies listed above and wrote Robot & Frank alone. Finally, one more writing team mentioned is Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. They worked on the upcoming Jumanji reboot together, while Sommers most recently penned The LEGO Batman Movie. He's also written for TV shows like Happy Endings and American Dad. McKenna meanwhile has written many of Community's best episodes.

The order these guys worked on Spider-Man: Homecoming in is unclear, but Watts, Ford, McKenna, and Sommers all inspire more confidence than Goldstein and Daley. Still, that's a lot of writers!

This is good. I had little to no faith in the two dudes who wrote the Vacation reboot. That movie was horrible. I'm glad they brought in better writers to help out.

@Kr08 - I feel like this happens a lot anymore. Two or three scripts and then they make the movie after a couple drafts

The only thing I think is keeping me from freakin out is because Spider-Man was so well done in his limited role in civil war, that all they have to do is keep that going for a whole movie... Easier said than done but feige and marvel can't eff this up especially after the crazy hype that will be coming with this movie
