‘Avengers’ Cinematographer Seamus McGarvery Reportedly Returning to The MCU For ‘Spider-Man 3’

Despite a lot of high-profile productions being placed on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak, there are projects that are still in pre-production remotely. One of those projects is Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures third entry in the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man films.

According to Discussing Film, they learned that Avengers cinematographer Seamus McGarvey has boarded the project, teaming him up with Spider-Man: Far From Home director Jon Watts, who is returning to helm his third Spider-Man film for the studio (he also directed 2016’s Spider-Man: Homecoming).

McGarvey was recently attached to Disney’s live-action Pinocchio remake with Paddington director Paul King. King has since left the project, and with McGarvey joining Spider-Man 3 (currently untitled), it is unlikely he will shoot Pinocchio with newly appointed director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future).

McGarvey is a seasoned cinematographer, who has shot high-profiled projects including The Hours, Along Came Polly, Sahara, Charlottes Web, Nowhere Boy, Atonement, Godzilla, Fifty Shades of Grey, The Accountant, Life, The Greatest Showman, Greta, and Bad Times at the El Royale.
