A fresh face behind the camera!

While Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon (as Peter Parker's best-friend Ned) are all returning from the previous "Home" trilogy, there's some new blood behind the camera in the form of Destin Daniel Cretton.

The American filmmaker replaces Jon Watts who helmed Holland's previous three Spider-Man films. Cretton is most known for directing MCU movie "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" (pictured above), as well as creating the underrated Marvel show "Wonder Man." He also directed various dramas including "The Glass Castle," "Just Mercy" and the excellent "Short Term 12."

There's something of a production-line quality about MCU movies in general, so stylistically I wouldn't expect a radical departure in "Brand New Day" but it will be interesting to see how Cretton's Spider-Man differs from what we got from Watts.
