The Russo Bros. Have Very High Praise for SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING - “The Script Is Amazing”
For those of you hoping that Spider-Man: Homecoming will be a great film, you’ll be happy to hear that the Russo Bros. (The Winter Soldier, Civil War) have nothing but very positive things to say about what director Jon Watts is doing with it.
I was blown away by the early footage screened at Comic-Con. I couldn’t be happier with how Peter Parker and Spider-Man are being portrayed. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man film so far, but according to Anthony Russo, Homecoming might end up being even better! He tells ComicBook.com:
"I think the tone and the direction that he's heading in that movie are fantastic. I think it has the potential to be the best Spider-Man yet, and I know that's saying a lot because perhaps my favorite comic book movie of all time is Raimi's Spider-Man 2."
Anthony goes on to talk about the director of the film and how talented he is and says he wrote an amazing script.
"[Joe and I] love [Jon Watts]. We think he's an incredibly talented filmmaker, super bright guy… He's crazy talented, the script is amazing, and we have really high expectations for the movie.”
The rest of the fans have high expectations as well, but none of us have actually read the script! Apparently, the directors working on projects at Marvel are always sharing stuff with each other. Seems like it would be a fun work atmosphere to be involved with. When talking about the process of working together these films, Anthony says:
"From a process standpoint, it's like it is with all other Marvel directors. Everybody runs into each other in the hallways, we're passing off story information between each other. I don't necessarily know how much it influenced me yet because we're not involved in it on a day-to-day project, a process, and we've seen as much as everybody else has seen, meaning if you were at Comic-Con and you saw the Comic-Con trailer, that's what we've seen of it."
I can’t wait for the rest of you to get to see what was screened at Comic-Con. Until the first trailer is released, you can read all about that footage here. Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7th, 2017.
