Spider-Man 4 update is ‘great’ news, fans agree

It would seem thatMarvelfans are completely in agreement regarding the latestSpider-Man 4update, even though lovers of a differentMCUfilm aren’t too happy with how it’ll affect a different character’s upcoming sequel.

Back in September, it was revealed thatShang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings’director Destin Daniel Cretton would be taking over directorial duties for Tom Holland’s next Spider-Man outing, following Jon Watts' departure.

Ina recent Reddit threadover on the r/marvelstudios subreddit, fans discussed how they feel about the choice of director (spoiler alert: it’s unanimously positive).

“Great choice and apparently he’s taking with him the fight choreographer fromShang-Chi,” commenteduser No_Read_5062.

“Considering how well he did forShang-Chiand I thinkAmerican Born Chinesefor action and story (at least the story forShang-Chi),” replieduser NitrousReadsReddit, “I doubt that Destin will screw this up, even ifSpider-Man 4is another multiverse movie.”

However, although everyone is generally pretty thrilled that Destin Daniel Cretton has been chosen as director, a lot of people couldn’t help but feel disappointed that it may have come at the cost of a different MCU sequel,Shang-Chi 2.

Thunderbolts*will land next year.

“I’ve no doubt he will do great,” stateduser JacobLemongrass, “I just wish he were makingShang-Chi 2instead.”

“Great choice, probably the best one they could’ve made for Spidey,” concurreduser paulojrmam, “Just a bit sad that it postponesShang-Chieven further. But even still, Spider-Man’s more important so I can’t disagree.”

Here’s hoping it was delayed to the point that Cretton can come back for the sequel, because I don’t thinkShang-Chi 2would feel the same without him.
