By April 29, 2022, Jon Watts had exited the project and would no longer direct the film.[7] Matt Shakman was in talks to direct the film, after Watts left the project, which was later confirmed at D23.[8][9]
Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer were hired to write the screenplay for the film. By March 31, 2023, they were replaced by Josh Friedman who began rewriting the film's script.[10][11] In an interview with The Playlist, Matt Shakman revealed that Cameron Squires had co-written the film's script.[12]
Disney announced on June 13, 2023 they had pushed back the film's release date to May 2, 2025, taking over the release date from Avengers: Doomsday. This came in line of the ongoing writers strike in America.[13]
