Jon Watts is sharing a relatable truth: Sometimes directors get burnt out, too. The filmmaker, who singlehandedly revived the “Spider-Man” IP with his Tom Holland-led features, said during a recent masterclass at the Mediterrane Film Festival (via THR) that he exited fellow MCU project “ The Fantastic Four ” because he was just “out of gas.”

In another timeline, Watts would've brought the Fantastic Four back after just tying off Spider-Man's first saga.

The blockbuster writer, director and producer sat for a revealing masterclass presentation in Malta at the Mediterrane Film Festival where he talked Marvel, 'Star Wars,' AI and his hope for more original movies.
