Editors - Leigh Folsom Boyd ACE and Jeffrey Ford ACE Editors Leigh Folsom Boyd and Jeffrey Ford are not exactly newbies when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And while they have many prior MCU colleagues in common, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME represents the first time they've ever worked together on a project. Jeff was the editor who introduced Tom Holland's Peter Parker to the MCU when he cut CAPTAIN AMERICA - CIVIL WAR.
