"It will never be like this, ever again" – Spider-Man Director Reveals Why He Left The MCU

As a devoted fan who has followed Peter Parker’s journey through the MCU, I must say that Jon Watts’ decision to leave at the peak of the Spider-Man trilogy’s popularity is nothing short of impressive. His understanding of when to call it quits and move on to new challenges is something I can only aspire to in my own life.


In simpler terms, the Spider-Man movies set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have given a fresh, contemporary spin to the character of Peter Parker, placing him in the current timeline of the MCU

In “No Way Home”, the trilogy drew to a delightful close, finding Tom Holland’s character in a predicament reminiscent of the familiar Spider-Man we’re fond of

Now, director Jon Watts has broken his silence about the reason he left the MCU.

Stopping At The Peak

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Watts told the magazine why he left the MCU.

The immense success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, earning it a place among the highest-grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe films ever with box office earnings exceeding $1 billion, is remarkable in itself. However, director Jon Watts added:

That was such a specific moment in time, and the reaction to that movie was just so unbelievable. It’s never going to be like this, ever again.

You should recognize that Watts wisely chose to finish his trilogy while it was still at the height of its fame

Initially, he was intended to be the director for the forthcoming “Avengers Doomsday” and “Secret Wars,” but he ultimately decided to withdraw from the project’s development

Currently, the director has shifted his focus towards new ventures, specifically the upcoming film “Wolfs,” a blend of thriller and comedy. This project boasts an impressive cast including Brad Pitt and George Clooney

It’s quite evident that his participation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has granted him significant influence in Hollywood, allowing him to collaborate with esteemed acting legends today
