Marc Preston Webb[1] (born August 31, 1974) is an American music video director and filmmaker. He made his feature film directorial debut with the romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer (2009), and went on to direct the 2012 Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man, and its 2014 sequel. He has also directed the drama films Gifted and The Only Living Boy in New York (both 2017).

Life and career[]

Webb was born in Bloomington, Indiana, the son of Margaret Ruth (née Stocker) and Norman Lott Webb, who works in math education at the University of Wisconsin.[1][2] When he was eighteen months old, Webb's family moved to Madison, Wisconsin, where he was raised.[3][4] He graduated from Madison West High School in 1992, and subsequently attended Colorado College,[3] and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, from which he graduated with an English degree.[5]

His feature-length debut, 500 Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, was released in July 2009 to a positive critical reception.[6] In January 2010, Columbia Pictures hired Webb to direct The Amazing Spider-Man, a reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, released in July 2012 and starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.[7] He returned to direct the sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which was released on May 2, 2014.

In 2015, Webb directed promotional ads for a partnership between Samsung and Avengers: Age of Ultron.[citation needed]

Webb is signed to DNA in Hollywood, California, and Academy Productions Ltd in the United Kingdom.

In February 2019, he signed on to direct the live-action reimagined version of the 2016 Japanese animated movie hit Your Name [8] before he was replaced on September 18, 2020 by Lee Isaac Chung.[9]

In 2013, Christopher Keyser and Webb pitched the mystery drama The Society to Showtime, but the network later decided to pass on the series.[10] On July 24, 2018, Netflix announced that they had given the production a series order for a first season. The series created by Keyser and executive produced by both, Keyser and Webb, premiered on May 10, 2019.[11] In September 2019, it was announced that Webb will direct a live-action adaptation of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[12] In July 2019, it was announced that Webb and his Black Lamb production company signed a deal with ABC Studios.[13]

Personal life[]

On June 8, 2018, Webb's girlfriend Jane Herman gave birth to a daughter, Georgia.[14] The couple married on October 4, 2019.[15]

Webb's lamb[]

Webb's signature is a white lamb, which has appeared in a few of his videos. In Brand New's "Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades" video, the lamb appears on the door before Jesse Lacey enters the bar. It also appears on the shirt of a girl in the bar. In Yellowcard's "Ocean Avenue" and "Rough Landing, Holly" videos, the lamb appears on the briefcase Ryan Key carries around.
