But Sony ultimately scrapped it and moved forward with The Amazing Spider-Man reboot instead.
Sony pulled the plug in January 2010, announcing a new reboot that would eventually become 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man.
The artwork seems to indicate that Bruce Campbell would have played Mysterio, which isn’t terribly surprising since the actor has had roles in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy.
He played a ring announcer in 2002’s Spider-Man, a “Snooty Usher” in Spider-Man 2 and a Maitre’d in Spider-Man 3.
