Captain America may have a brawl, and the Ironeles can have the brains, but Spiderman's cinema is making them a cinema. Marvel's superhero won the box office on more than one occasion, including when "Spider-Man: No way at home" earns over $ 1.9 billion in global treasurer In 2021. That success of that film and earlier records in the "Spider-Man" trilogy led by Tom Holland also made Jonon Watts, who co-wrote and directed all three films, one of the key creatives of Marvel Studio at a time when the future of the film universe is in Marvel.

Linhpin from this next era of MCU is The introduction of a fantastic four, And so it was no surprise that Watts was Marvel's first choice to welcome the first family of home ideas. But a few months after the release of "No Home Home", the studio announced that Watts would no longer direct what is now known as "Fantastic Four: First Steps". Later, Helmer "Vandasza" Matt Shakmann Instead, he took over the project, though that could not prevent fans from speculating why Watts dropped out of one of MCC's biggest films so far. Watts, for his part, avoided talking directly about the subject in three years after giving up directing the film, but now he has finally broken the silence.

Watts holds a master class about storytelling at the Mediterranean Film Film Festival, when he spoke in length about his "Fantastic Four" departure, admitting he could not find energy to return to another movie with a superhero in the Starweet after delivering "no way home". While his other two films on Spider-Man, Homecoming and Far Home, they certainly weren't easy to make, the difficulties of working during the Kovid-19 pandemic, made it "without home". Combined with a difficult process of post-production and visual effects, Watts felt as if he were "out of gas" until the time he finished the film. As put it (after Hollywood reporter):

"The Emotional Strain of Having to Go Through All of Those Covid Protocols While also try to make something and Crew were all Safe - listerally Died if you do things wrong-that and the post-propuction process was very different. And the Supply Chain had been interrupted because it was really difficult to make the effects of the traditional way. "

Watts continued to say that "everyone in Marvel totally understood" why they had to withdraw:

"They spent it with me, so they knew how difficult and healed that experience; in the end, very satisfying, but at some point, if you can't do it at the level you feel the right thing to be great, then it's better not to do it."

It is not said, it is not like Watts to make it easier after withdrawing from the "fantastic four". Only last year, he directed "Wolves" for Apple, starring Brad Pitt and George ClooneyIn addition to co-creation of the underestimated "Gonny" inspired "Starwalks War" series "Skeleton Crew" for Disney+.

"Fantastic Four: First Steps" opens in theaters on July 25, 2025.
