With plans still set for a December 21st, 2018 release for the Spider-Man animated feature that doesn’t have a working title yet, Sony Pictures Animation has now revealed the director. They’re bringing on board Bob Persichetti for the job, marking his directorial debut with it. The film is being overseen by producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller with Lord handling the screenplay credit for it as well as producers Amy Pascal and Avi Arad.
Persichetti is an interesting choice because he’s worked in the animation realm for some time with films like Hercules and Tarzn to more recent work where he was involved as the head of story for Puss in Boots and The Little Prince.
No casting has been revealed yet nor which Spider-Man character they’re working with either, as folks are hoping that we’ll see Miles Morales make his big screen debut here.
