Jon Watts, director of the upcoming “Spider-Man” reboot, stopped by EW to wax on his plans for the strawberry-toned Avenger.
The “Cop Car” director explained why Tom Holland was the perfect choice for the title role, and touched on collaborating with Joe and Anthony Russo – who debut the new ‘Spidey’ in their film “Captain America : Civil War”.
Watts said of Holland :
“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.”
Watts said of working with the Russos :
“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.”
The “Spider-Man” reboot his theaters two years from now.
