The Marvel process is very thorough, and that’s why their results are so outstanding.  I’m confident Spider-Man will be no exception.

I’ve worked with a number of up-and-coming directors who have gone on to be superstars and believe that Jon is just such an outstanding talent.

For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom’s screen tests were special.   All in all, we are off to a roaring start.”Sony Pictures will finance and release the next installment of the $4 billion Spider-Man franchise on July 28, 2017.Spider-Man is currently the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures.
