Marc Webb to leave Spider-Man franchise after third film

Director Marc Webb has confirmed he will be leaving the Spider-Man franchise after the third film. The man who directed both the first and the upcoming sequel will stay on to complete the trilogy, though when the times comes he will pass the reigns over to somebody else – in a similar vein to how previous filmmaker Sam Raimi did with him having made the initial three pictures. Following on from the triumph of the first film in the rebooted franchise, fans will undoubtedly be happy that Webb is at least staying on in the director’s chair to complete a trilogy.
