Spider-Man's Cretton To Direct "Hawaii Five-O"

Destin Daniel Cretton will develop and direct the film, with Chris Bremner writing and Noah Oppenheim producing.

  • Paramount Pictures is developing a feature film based on the classic police procedural Hawaii Five-O, with filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton attached to direct the project.
  • Created by Leonard Freeman, the original series aired from 1968 to 1980; previous attempts to adapt the property for film stalled for decades due to legal battles over rights.
  • Cretton directed Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which earned $2.412 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing film of 2026. Chris Bremner and Noah Oppenheim are attached to write the screenplay.
  • The project remains in early development stages, though industry reports suggest the production team expects to cast a pair of young A-List actors in the lead roles.
  • Following the 2010-2020 CBS reboot Hawaii Five-0, which starred Alex Loughlin and Scott Caan, this film represents a fresh attempt to bring the iconic task force to theaters.
