A year before the genesis of the , Sony released the critically panned Spider- 3 which saw Peter Parker go up against Venom, The Sandman, and The ‘New Goblin’.
fans were not happy and neither was d. Rumors of interference from Sony were abundant and although the wasn’t a critical flop, it spelled the end of as Spider-. A mere three years later the would create a : The Amazing Spider- starring Andrew Garfield. This, in turn, got a that was so panned, the studio ended up sharing the rights with and Studios to give us the Tom Holland Spidey we all know and love.
But long before The Amazing Spider-, plans were in place to give Spidey the send-off he deserved. And in my opinion, now is the time to revisit this as the jumping-off point for the long-rumored live-action Spider-Verse that we’re all clambering for.
Sam Raimi’s Cancelled Spider- 4
The original Spider- 4 was set to right the wrongs of the . It was to feature only two villains; the (rumored to be played by John Malkovich) and Felicia Hardy (rumored to be played by Anne Hathaway), who would become not Black Cat, but a new known as the Vultress. Check out this !

The plot of the cancelled would obviously have to be binned thanks to the introduction of the ‘s excellent take on The , but otherwise, the are endless.
And please don’t mistake me; I don’t want this instead of Tom Holland’s Spider-. I want it as well.
Ever since the beginnings of the , has taken note of how being faithful to properties can mean big bucks. We’ve seen how successful an animated Spider-Verse can be, now how about we reunite each who has portrayed Spider- in live-action.
Tom Holland. . Even Andrew Garfield. All in one huge Spider- . A return to the world of the Spider- (arguably the most accurate interpretation) is the perfect way to kick off this live-action .
And what is the perfect way to end the of this beloved ? A post-credits house call from Benedict Cumberbatch’s .

Oh, and who is the director of in the of ?
Oh my. This has to happen.
If opened up his little circle portal at the end of a in the Spider- , I think I’d lose my mind.
But why not tie these together? Marvel fans have long thought that the might be the best way to introduce The and The X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so why not a Spider- too?

The multiverse seems to be the easiest way to tie together the Spider-Men of both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the recently named *sigh* Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters. It’s such an easy plot device, it seems mad not to do it; especially with Raimi at the helm of the Doctor Strange sequel.
