Spider-Man

Spider-Man 1

Director Jon Watts, whose Cop Car opens in theaters on August 7th and hits on-demand on August 14, has a few words to say about how his Sundance favorite led to his next gig: helming Marvel’s Spider-Man reboot…

“I’m not really sure what happened,” says the director. “I had never been to Sundance before. I was nervous because that was the first time we were showing the movie to an actual crowd. So I was dealing with that. I mean, Sundance is like a genre. At least it was to me growing up and in film school: it’s like a Sundance kind of a movie. But [Marvel] got to see Cop Car and they really liked it. But yeah, this trend is interesting. Now, I’ve got to make a slightly more expensive version. It’s an opportunity to just have a much bigger canvas instead of just scrapping together any story you can.”

Watts adds that Tom Holland is perfect as the new Peter Parker because…

“He can be a real high school student. That’s why people love Spider-Man. He’s the most grounded, relatable of superheroes. And Tom can really do that. He captures that. And he can do a standing back-flip. He’s perfect.”

Regarding his possible collaboration with the Russo Brothers as Spidey is introduced into the MCU in their Captain America: Civil War, Watts remarks…

“I mean, it’s a big universe, so everyone sort of works with each other to make sure that there’s continuity and that it all fits together. It’s really exciting actually. We’re just getting started, working on the script and all that, but it’s going to be a great process.
