Watts didn’t want to return?


In December 2021, Jon Watts found himself standing in the back of the Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard on the opening night of his last film, Spider-Man: No Way Home. The entry was one of the first major studio theatrical releases following the pandemic shutdown, and the audience was standing, screaming, crying and generally carrying on in a way that, even for the first showing of a fan-favorite superhero movie, was a spectacle all to itself.
“That was such a specific moment in time, and the reaction to that movie was just so unbelievable,” remembers Watts. It was at this point that the director came to the realization: “It’s never going to be like this, ever again.”
No Way Home went on to gross nearly $2 billion at the global box office, the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time and one of the top Marvel movies, trailing only the last two Avengers films. Watts decided not to return for a fourth Spider-Man, and in 2022 exited as the director of another Marvel property, Fantastic Four.
