With Jon Watts' "Spider-Man" coming to theaters two years from now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has recently revealed the reason behind Watts' directorship over the upcoming Marvel film.

In his interview with Collider, Feige said that aside from Watt's thriller film "Cop Car," the filmmaker had many attention-grabbing things to reveal everytime the latter was met by the Marvel Head and the production team. For Feige, Marvel values the relationship the studio has with the directors and the actors, as well.

While some filmmakers are no longer directing films for Marvel Studio at this point, some directors have established as sense of ownership to their respective crafts, according to Cinema Blend.

Watts can take charge of one of Marvel's most famous films for quite some time, just like Joe and Anthony Russo's "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Infinity War," James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy," and Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

At this point, fans can expect a highschool-centric "Spider-Man" with Tom Holland carrying the titular role. Feige also revealed previously that there are chances that the upcoming Marvel film will feature new villains, which fans have not seen yet in Sam Raimi's and Marc Webb's earlier "Spider-Man" films.

Spider-Man is will debut to the Marvel's Cinematic Universe in the Russo's "Captain America: Civil War" before his solo film. "Captain America: Civil War" is set to hit the big screen on May 6, 2016 while Watts' solo "Spider-Man" film is slated to premiere in theaters on July 28, 2017.
