Jon Watts, the director of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” is exiting from his role as director of Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” movie.
Watts was first announced to direct the new take on “Fantastic Four” back in 2020, but his split from the new film is said to be amicable, and both Marvel and a rep for Watts confirmed his departure to TheWrap.
“Collaborating with Jon on the Spider-Man films has been a true pleasure. We were looking forward to continuing our work with him to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU but understand and are supportive of his reasons for stepping away.
