It seems that Spider-Man 4 with Tom Holland He is gaining strength, now that the actor and also producer is aware of the creative process. A creative process that, by the way, seems to have pitted Sony and Marvel once again. But it’s a start. Now Jon Wattsthe director in charge of Tom Holland’s previous Spider-Man trilogy, who has other projects in hand – such as Skeleton Crew of Star Wars-, take advantage to warn those responsible for the new wall-crawler trilogy before it is too late and comment on the error that all the directors have been suffering in their respective adaptations.
Jon Watts has some vital advice for future Spider-Man directors and issues a warning before they make the same mistake
But what advice is it? It has been through an interview with Collider in which Watts has been honest and wanted to explain some key elements of filming films such as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home specifically in everything related to the visual effects that are used to represent the swinging of the superhero in the vignettes: “I have very practical advice about Spider-Man, and I think all the Spider-Man directors go through it,” explains Watts in the aforementioned interview.
“It doesn’t look good on screen when someone is swinging on a rope.. You think you’re going to go in there, and you say, Let’s make it all practical. Let’s get a double. Let’s swing them. It’s boring. It seems silly. It’s like youhave a monkey swinging on a vine when you put someone on a rope. Don’t waste time on that. That’s my advice for the next director of Spider-Man,” the director concluded.

It doesn’t look good on screen when someone is swinging on a rope; don’t make that mistake
Watts’ candid comments demonstrate the challenges of translating comic book action to the big screen, where practical effects must be carefully balanced with the visual demands of superhero dynamics. Therefore, the combination of digital effects with other more practical ones is the key to correctly representing Spider-Man in the cinema. Looking back, Sam Raimi used his own tricks in Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire and the films. The Amazing Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield they opted for a more realistic and visual, shocking style, which to date has not been replicated.
We remind you that Holland has been collaborating with the producer of the Spider-Man saga, Amy Pascal, the co-producer of No Way HomeRachel O’Connor, and Kevin Feige and other Marvel Studios executives in Spidey 4trying to find the right way to return Peter Parker to the movies.
