Spider-Man: Homecoming has been met with universal acclaim and with box office analysts predicting a huge opening weekend for the reboot, common sense says Marvel and Sony will be bringing back director Jon Watts. However, in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the filmmaker has confirmed that nothing is official in regards to returning and that he's not signed on for the sequel...yet.
"For me it’s one movie at a time," he revealed. "I can’t wait to see [Avengers] Infinity War because I know what they’re doing but I don’t know the specifics. I feel like with Tom and with Spider-Man in this Marvel universe we’re just scratching the surface of what we can do." Chances are Watts is negotiating in public for a pay rise and that he'll more than likely return for Spidey's next adventure.
Tom Holland, on the other hand, seems far more confident about the director making his return for the 2019 release. "[Watts] is coming back for the next one," he insisted. "We can’t do another Spider-Man movie without Jon Watts." We'll just have to wait and see but considering the fact Spider-Man: Homecoming is a bona fide critical and commercial hit, Marvel would be wise to turn to Watts again!
