Raimi had a deadline for Sony, and the project he had in mind needed to delegate a lot of work. The problem, however, broke down due to issues of deadlines and fees apply. įollowing the 2014 Sony Pictures Entertainment hack, Sony was revealed to have been in talks to have Sam Raimi return to the franchise to direct a new trilogy for the character and was in discussion with Marvel Studios about including Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: Civil War.Ĭoncept art revealed in June 2016 showed the inclusion of an opening montage of Spider-Man going up against C and D-list villains, such as Mysterio, the Shocker, the Prowler, and the Rhino, with the Vulture serving as the main antagonist.
These rumors were later shot down by Raimi in 2013, when he confirmed that Hathaway would’ve eventually played Black Cat. Vulture's daughter, Felicia, would have had an affair with Peter Parker in order to shatter his engagement with Mary Jane. According to sources online, the film would have had the Vulture buying out the Daily Bugle, forcing Spider-Man to kill him. What interesting about this version of the Hardy character is that Raimi would’ve departed from the character’s prior known alter ego Black Cat, instead making her into The Vulturess, an ally to The Vulture. Anne Hathaway was also in talks to play Felicia Hardy (a.k.a Black Cat). Malkovich actually went as far as confirming his casting a day before Sony announced they were cancelling Spider-Man 4. Actor John Malkovich entered talks to play The Vulture, an elderly criminal who builds a suit that allows him to fly.

Dylan Baker was set to reprise his role as Dr. Sony had also hired Vanderbilt to pen scripts for Spider-Man 5 and Spider-Man 6.ĭevelopment on the project began back in 2008, with Raimi already having the film’s villain in mind. The script underwent further revision by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and once more by Gary Ross in October of 2009. Sony hired James Vanderbilt in October of 2008 to pen the screenplay, after contacting David Koepp, the writer of the first film. Come 2009, however, Raimi dismissed the rumors that all three films were being made, instead confirming that only the fourth was under development. Development began in 2008, with Raimi attached to direct and the core cast of the previous films to return. Sony set a release date for Spider-Man 4 for May 5, 2011.
