Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Sam Raimi's canceled Spider-Man 4 left a lasting impact on the franchise, as many of his ideas were incorporated into subsequent Spider-Man movies.
• The Vulture, originally planned as the main villain in Spider-Man 4, ended up appearing in the MCU's Spider-Man: Homecoming, portrayed by Michael Keaton.
• Various characters and storylines from Raimi's Spider-Man 4, such as the Lizard and Mysterio, were reimagined and featured in later Spider-Man films.

Sam Raimi's canceled Spider-Man 4 lives on since many of the director's ideas for the film made their way into The Amazing Spider-Man movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Raimi and Tobey Maguire's partnership was not meant to end with the controversial Spider-Man 3, as the director and Peter Parker actor were originally going to return for Spider-Man 4. The movie was canceled after Raimi pulled out of Spider-Man 4 due to the studio's constant requests, as he did not want to go through a repeat of Spider-Man 3's problems. Despite never happening, several Spider-Man 4 ideas live on in all the Spider-Man movies that came after Raimi's exit.
Following the end of Raimi's time with the Spider-Man franchise, Sony rebooted the character on the big screen with Andrew Garfield playing Peter Parker in two The Amazing Spider-Man movies. The actor was then recast with Tom Holland taking on the role of the MCU's version of Spider-Man, with Marvel Studios and Sony co-producing the MCU's Spider-Man films. Holland will return for his own Spider-Man 4, reaching the milestone that Raimi never did. Several details from Raimi's Spider-Man 4 have become known over the years, and they reveal that many of the director's ideas live on in other Spider-Man movies.
