David Werntz

David Werntz, yeah, the name might not ring a bell for everyone, but this guy’s fingerprints are all over some wild blockbuster stuff. Seriously. He’s not exactly hogging the spotlight, but if you’ve seen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), then you’ve basically seen his magic in action. That movie? Total game-changer, blew up the whole “animated superhero” thing. The visuals, the style, the way everything moves—it’s nuts. And that’s not even touching the story, which hits you with so much heart and swagger you almost forget you’re watching an animated film. David was there, making sure every frame looked like it could jump off the screen, and it totally did. Then there’s Man of Steel (2013). Yeah, the Superman reboot that had everyone arguing for months about whether or not Superman should snap necks. Whole other vibe from Spider-Verse. We’re talking big, brooding, high-stakes, and just packed with those “woah” moments. Werntz worked on that, too—different style, but you can spot the quality. The action scenes, those insane flying sequences, the whole look of Krypton. He helped make it feel massive and gritty, not just another superhero flick. And now, Venom: The Last Dance (2024) is coming up. If you’re into the whole Venom/antihero chaos, looks like Werntz is back to stir things up again. You can pretty much expect more wild visuals, weird creatures, and that off-kilter vibe Venom movies are known for. Dude’s got range, honestly. From trippy animation to moody Superman to gooey alien symbiotes, he’s been there, making sure you can’t take your eyes off the screen.
