Marvel has revealed a short list of directors who will potentially direct the first "Spider-Man" movie for the Avengers' Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

According to Deadline, the studio has a list of tentative directors who could helm the film currently titled "Spider-Man: The New Avenger."

The directors include Jonathan Levine who has directed "50/50," and "Warm Bodies" as well as Ted Melfi who directed last year's Indie hit "St. Vincent." Jason Moore, director of "Pitch Perfect" and John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein directors of "Vacation" are also on the short list. The final candidate is Jared Hess, who worked on the comedies "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Nacho Libre".

The news comes as a surprise because it was originally reported that Drew Goddard was in talks to direct the picture. However, Goddard is no longer on the list.

While Marvel searches for a director, the studio is currently looking to find a new Spider-Man. Among the candidates include Asa Butterfield ("Hugo") and Tom Holland ("The Impossible"). The casting of Spider-Man will be younger than the incarnations played by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire of Sony.

According Deadline the company is planning at least three films for the character. The journal stated "Feige and his producing accomplice Amy Pascal are planning an arc that will tell the Spidey story over three to four movies, each covering a year of high school for Peter Parker, who'll already have been bitten by the radioactive spider so we don't have to see that all over again. The tone they are searching for in the coming of age tale is John Hughes humor and emotion, plus all the superhero stuff."

Spider-Man will make his debut in "Captain America: Civil War" before the standalone films that are being planned.

"Captain America: Civil War" is set for release May 6, 2016 while "Spider-Man: The New Avenger" currently has no release date.
