Vacation and Horrible Bosses writers set to pen new Spider-Man - promise he's funny

In case you hadn't heard (and really how could you miss it) there's a new Spider-Man standalone movie on the way in 2017, with the recently cast Tom Holland first set to appear as the character in 2016's Captain America 3. After that casting was confirmed and director Jon Watts was named, we were still waiting to hear just who would be writing the script for the self-contained flick. And now that information has come to our brains through our eyes.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are set to pen Spider-Man. They're best known for writing on the likes of Horrible Bosses and the Incredible Burt Wonderstone, and have their directorial debut Vacation in cinemas soon. They were also in the frame to direct Spidey at one stage, but they'll have to make do with typing stage directions.
