According to Latino-Review, it's confirmed that The Cabin in the Woods writer and director Drew Goddard is in talks to write and direct the new Spider-Man reboot film. Over the weekend, there were rumors speculating that a director for the film has been found, but now Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige's choice has been revealed. Goddard was previously working on a Sinister Six film for Sony, but that was before Sony and Marvel got together to make their big announcement about bringing Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in February. The site believes the film will be called The Spectacular Spider-Man, though that hasn't been confirmed yet. An unknown actor will supposedly be cast as the iconic superhero. Marvel and Sony are looking for a younger actor for the role as they would like to follow the character while he's still in high school.
I really like this! I was a big fan of The Cabin in the Woods and I enjoyed the unconventional and intriguing script that he co-wrote with Joss Whedon. I've also enjoyed some of Goddard's past work including Cloverfield (which he wrote), World War Z (which he also wrote), and he happened to produce some episodes of Lost (one of my favorite shows) and Alias as well. He's also attached to Netflix's upcoming, highly anticipated Daredevil TV series, which premieres on April 10th and takes place during the MCU. I think he's going to do a good job with a Spider-Man film, if Sony decides to stay back and let the man do his job!
The film will be released on July 28, 2017. Stay tuned for more updates!
