Long before the Amazing Spider-Man series and the Web-Slinger being included in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony was still keen on continuing Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movie series.
Mysterio, The Shocker, The Prowler, the old school- onsie- wearing version of The Rhino, etc. We thought it would be a lot of fun.
Although Spider-Man 3 received mixed reviews, it still earned enough to warrant Spider-Man 4 being put into development.
They wouldn’t have worked as Spider-Man 4’s main villains, but their montage would definitely have helped the series step up its game.
