“Spider-Man”was one of Sony Pictures’ most iconic film releases in 2002. If not the most important movie which was released that year. Director Sam Raimi presented fans worldwide by interpreting the famous Spiderman 4 from Marvel Comics on the big screen. Being its foremost interpreterTobey Maguire,accompanied the character on three occasions. It became the favorite generation to wear the arachnid superhero costume.
Why did Sony scrap the sequel in favor of fast-tracking a reboot?
There was a fourth film that never saw the light. Ten years after the first release, in 2012, Sony Pictures reboot the world of spiders. SpiderMan withAndrew Garfield, the actor who brought to lifePeter Parkeras “The Amazing Spider-Man” and then to a sequel in 2014. In the end, this adaptation did not last long either and ended up making a third lead actor change. By 2017,Tom Hollandwould become the onlySpider-Manin the universe created byMarvel StudiosandSony Pictures.
For many, especially the nineties generation,Tobey Maguireis still the perfect interpreter forPeter Parker. Intheir childhood, they saw the comic book hero incarnate under this actor. Many years have passed, and the idea of Maguire returning to the big screen as Spider-Man is becoming more distant. Many wonder what happened to the fourth part of his film series that never materialized.
Did somethinghappenbetweenSam RaimiandSony Picturesthat prevented the making of the fourth part? The cast of this film would have top-notch actors and classic villains from theMarvelcomics.But for various reasons, this alliance dissolved.
WHAT HAPPENED TO SAM RAIMI’S “SPIDERMAN” 4?
A quarter of the “Spider-man” BySam Raimi, I was going to have a massive turn, includingMysterio, Felicia Hardy, andVulture. The latter became the main villain of the new films withTom Holland.But he was going to be played byJohn Malkovich. Even the actorBen Kingsleywas within the possibilities.
The original idea was that“Spider-Man” 3wouldinvolve theVultureand then hook a plot that would configure “Spider-Man4″,but in the end, it was replaced byVenom. So far, the only thingRaimiwas going to do was introduce the winged villain to the world ofSpider-Manon the big screen.
Malkovichwas ready to join the project alongsideAnne Hathaway, who would becomeFelicia Hardy.Shewas best known in the comics asBlack Cat.It is unknown exactly what would happen to her, but she was always of sentimental interest toPeter Parkerin her story. In addition,Bruce Campbellwas also on hold, who already wanted to reveal his true identity asMysteriosince so far he had only had a few comic cameos.
The concept art ofPlanet Hendersonhelped everyone understand that “Spider-Man4″was not only a vague idea but that its script was already in the works. In an interview withVulturein 2013,Raimisaid, “Itwas the friendliest and most negligible dramatic breakup – it was just that we had a deadline and I couldn’t make the story work at a level that I wanted it to work.”ConsideringSonyhad a deal where they had to release aSpider-Man movieevery few years or the rights would go back toMarvel, understandably, they wanted to see a movie release sooner rather than later.
What happened?
After “Spider-Man3″,Raimiwanted to make sure his next part was the best it could be. He even confessed how he felt about his last movie: “I was very unhappy with Spider-Man 3, and I wanted to make SpiderMan 4 so I could have finished on a very high note, best Spider-Man ever. But I couldn’t put the script together in time, due to my own failures. I don’t want to make a movie that’s not great, so I think we shouldn’t do it. Keep up with your reboot, which you’ve been planning anyway.“
Even thoughRaimihad creative control over the film, he could not meet his May 2011. So“Spiderman 4”didn’t happen at all. They rebooted the franchise with”The Amazing Spider-Man“andAndrew Garfieldas the new Spider-Man. However, none of the2012and2014films had good results despite being designed to form their series. The truth is thatSony Pictureshad to remake theSpider-Manuniverse again. That is whereTom Hollandcame in.
