Director Jon Watts has signed a first-look deal with Walt Disney Studios, enabling him to direct projects for Disney's live-action division and 20th Century Studios. Watts, renowned for his work on the Spider-Man trilogy, is also involved with Disney through his roles as executive producer on FX's The Old Man and creator of the upcoming Star Wars series Skeleton Crew. His new deal allows Disney to have the first option on any feature-length projects developed by Watts and his production banner, Freshman Year, which includes a sequel to his film Wolfs starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The collaboration is seen as a significant opportunity for both Watts and Disney, with the potential to create innovative, director-driven experiences. Watts expressed enthusiasm for working with Disney's creative team, particularly praising president David Greenbaum’s filmmaking expertise. This partnership comes as Watts transitions from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a broader creative role within Disney.
