Deadline Hollywood claims that the studio and producers Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad have now met with Marc Webb, the director of (500) Days of Summer, about helming their reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. Webb's name surfaced as a candidate to direct almost as soon as the news of the reboot broke earlier this week.
The site adds that the studio's wish list of possible candidates to replace Sam Raimi in the director's chair are James Cameron, David Fincher, and Wes Anderson.
David Fincher and Spider-Man screenwriter James Vanderbilt previously worked together on Zodiac, while Cameron was attached to direct the first Spidey film well over a decade ago.
