So, whos going to followSam RaimiandMarc Webbas the director of thenextSpider-Manfilm?

Goddard was a solid and sensible choice, having had experience with Sony onSinister Sixand with Marvel creatingDaredevil.

The tone theyre searching for is a coming of age tale with John Hugheshumor and emotion.

Hmm, I wonder which filmmaker could perfectly capture that tone if given a solid script?

(hint: its Marc Webb).

Of this group Id probably choose him for the gig.

But Im a bit bummed that Goddards name isnt anywhere to be found.

Or is he still a contender and just didnt surface on this latest shortlist?
