While Jon Watts was originally set to direct Fantastic Four after his success with Spider-Man: No Way Home, he suddenly pulled back on the project. Shortly after he’d announce his involvement with a new Star Wars series titled Skeleton Crew. It wasn’t until Star Wars Anniversary that we’d find out about it but it turns out the idea was actually going back and forth between Jon Favreau and Jon Watts during their time on the set for Spider-Man as revealed during the D23 Expo panel.
During the panel, we also got our first look at Jude Law‘s mysterious character, as shared by our own Charles Murphy attending the event.
