What Could Have Been: The Amazing Spider-Man 3

While Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man 3 never happened, Garfield's Return and No Way Home left many fans wishing that Sony had completed its planned trilogy, but it may surprise you to learn that Sony had much more ambitious plans than that and before The Amazing Spider. -The failure of Man 2 Sony was planning its own Spider-Man Cinematic Universe to compete with Marvels, so let's dive in and find out

what

Amazing Spider-Man 3 would

have

been

and

could

have

been

like. The Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's one of the biggest achievements in movie history, raking in tens of billions of dollars to turn Comic Book Heroes into colossal megafranchises, but like anything successful, it's not long before your rivals try to replicate that success for themselves, so following the success of the MCU, we saw several other studios attempt to create cinematic universes of their own, such as the Dark Universe, which features Universal Studios' slate of classic films, Monsters, the DC Extended Universe, the DC Universe-verse. the monsters, as well as several others, Sony after realizing that they own the rights to Spider-Man's rich cast of characters and villains decided to join The Fad, so those of you who enjoyed Amazing Spider-Man 2 and We are waiting for its sequel, they will have to wait since the next film in the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe would have been the Sinister Six and leading this group of super villains would have been none other than Norman Osborne.

Now I know

what

you're thinking. Norman died of an incurable disease in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Well, no. exactly cut from the film was a remnant of this scene that was originally supposed to be a post-credits scene that would have seen the mysterious knight that Gustav fears and who is a top secret level at Oscorp and pass through several chambers containing equipment created to villains that Fears would be recruited in the next film, eventually Fears would have reached a chamber containing Norman Osborne's frozen head before saying "wake up, old friend" and as this scene was cut, the container that would have contained the head Norman's can be seen earlier in the film. when a nurse takes him to his room after his death, also, in an earlier version of this post-credits scene, one of the cameras had a suspended ball of moving black goo, which would have been the symbiote, this was removed because Sony decided not to include it.

Venom in The Sinister Six in order to give it its own standalone film Drew Goddard, the filmmaker behind Cabin in the Woods, was hired to write and direct Sinister Six and his vision for the project was inspired by films such as The Dirty Dozen and Reservoir Dogs, where you root for the protagonists even though they're the villains it's a group of badass characters doing something you know it's like we admit we love seeing that and although the initial report suggested the movie wouldn't feature Spider-Man , that turned out to not be the case, as Goddard would go on to say that it was a Spider-Man movie, it was the giant epic Spider-Man movie of my dreams.

Goddard also expressed his distaste for how the Marvel films are interconnected and often serve as stepping stones to establishing themselves. future movies and characters in the MCU what dialect what conda on the other hand I wanted his movie to be able to stand on its own saying my vision was a summer annual so you didn't have to worry about continuity we just took Peter and put him in an adventure, then we returned him to his life. Goddard's film, which would have actually been a two-parter, was apparently crazy, as he wanted to present The Savage Land complete with dinosaurs and time-travel portals;

However, Godard was more enthusiastic about Sandman, who thought. he was going to steal the show and his number one choice to play him was Tom Hardy, who would eventually play Venom. Goddard wrote the character of Flint Marco to be the team's anarchic enthusiast who has fun while celebrating being bad. Goddard felt that Tom embodied. that anarchy and triumphant nihilism that we've seen him harness before in roles like Bronson, but Goddard wanted to turn the volume up to 11 here. The end of the film would have seen Sandman storm into London as tall as a skyscraper like Godzilla following The Sinister Six would have was the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which would have started with Peter Still mourning the death of Gwen Stacy as the film would focus on his struggle to recover and move on and like Spider-Man 3 Webb. eager to include Venom in his third Spider-Man movie as well, where the Symbiote would likely have bonded with Spider-Man and amplified his anger and guilt over Gwen's death.

I stopped hitting. I got furious. The film would end with Peter splitting off from the Symbiote where he would team up with Eddie Brock preparing Venom for his own standalone adventure where he fought Carnage, although there were also discussions about having Flash Thompson Venom take inspiration from Agent Venom's story and a strange plot, Point Peter would have gotten his hands on a serum that

could

bring people back from the dead. Part of the discussion was that possibly in three there was this idea at one point that Spider-Man could take this formula and regenerate people in his life that they had died so there was a discussion about Captain Stace coming back even bigger and in episode three and I said, let's go.

Not only would Peter use this formula to bring Captain Stacy back to life, but he would have brought Gwen back as well. The Symbiote was also explored as a plot device to allow for this and in an extension of this idea, Sony also discussed turning Gwen into Carnage which would have created a scenario where Peter was forced to kill her but perhaps can Say goodbye this time giving him the closure he needs and allowing him. To finally move on to the cut of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 there were two key scenes with characters that would be saved for the sequel.

The first would have featured Shailene Woodley's Mary Jane over the film's cut of MJ's scenes. Webb would say it was very hard to cast someone as a competing love interest when there's so much on the table with Peter and Gwen. Mary Jane was in four scenes, four scenes in the entire movie and it didn't make sense that they introduced so many new characters, it really didn't make sense. There is no point in introducing such a vital character in the comics, it is interesting to wonder what MJ's role would have been in Amazing Spider-Man 3 considering that Webb was planning to resurrect Gwen, it is rumored that in the movie Peter would have been encouraged to attend.

Group counseling by Aunt May, it is in these sessions that he would meet MJ before the two bonded over their shared trauma, but as the relationship develops, Peter would have struggled to reach out and open up to her after what What happened to Gwen, it's reasonable to assume. that once Peter brings Gwen back from the dead, that would have halted the progress of his budding relationship with Mary Jane; However, when the movie concludes and Peter finds closure by saying goodbye to Gwen, he would then take a step forward by asking MJ out. meaning his willingness to move in The other notable scene cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 featured the return of Peter's father, Richard Parker, who would reveal Peter to him.

I had to disappear to keep you safe. Keep listening to me. Listen to me. I had to disappear to keep you. my mistakes in reaching you I had to stay away from you to prevent Osborne from hurting you, you know what I'm saying, there was no other way to keep you safe, assuming Webb would have brought Richard back in the third movie and done it. He dealt with the fallout from his reappearance while exploring his nefarious Oscorp and Feud connections with Osborne, whom Webb originally wanted to resurrect and introduce as the main villain before the plants switched with Goddard, reviving him for the Sinister Six instead of Felicity.

Jones, who appeared briefly. Spider-Man 2 has Felicia Hardy and, most notably, in deleted scenes she would have expanded her role to create her own standalone black cat movie. Other films rounding out the Spider-Man cinematic universe include a Venom and Carnage movie and, according to rumors. at the time, an Ant May spin-off film that would have been a cross between Agent Carter and Mad Men that featured May's youthful adventures as a spy. I know what you're thinking, even Sally Field thought the idea was ridiculous. Garfield was also eager to pass. the torch to Miles Morales in the future, so it's likely we would have eventually seen that character take over the franchise.

I just thought she was going to be black, oh man I'm sorry, I don't apologize. He has to be a black Spider-Man. However, in Somewhere Out There, after the poor critical reception and disappointing box office performance of Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony began to question their plans when Juan Cap Day at Sony argued that they needed to lay out a solid five-year plan for the future. . Not only his own internal Clarity, but also to show fans that Spidey is in good hands, he called the Aunt May spin-off strange and suggested that they create a dedicated

spider

division that would function as a studio within the studio so that can plan appropriately. his Cinematic Universe, he boldly proposed the next five films to follow Amazing Spider-Man 2 and act as his cinematic universe's version of Marvel's phase one in a never-before-seen move: the first film would have been a prequel to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 that would feature Craven the Hunter as the villain.

Everyone at Sony was big fans of Emma and Andrew's chemistry and felt like they killed off their character too soon, not only that, but former Sony actors were frustrated that Amazing Spider-Man 2 took place after graduation, when one of the main reasons for the reboot was to be able to return Peter to high school so they could tell stories in that setting to differentiate it from the Ramey films, so by making a prequel to not only be able to rectify this, but Also Rectify by killing Gwen too soon as well as Norman Osborne, could they bring him back instead of stupidly reanimating his head like they had planned in this version?

Norman is getting sicker, so he hires a large Russian fighter. Hunter appointed Craven to locate Spider-Man and bring him in, as Norman believes that Peter's blood holds the key to curing his illness. Craven eventually captures Spider-Man and supplies Norman with vials of his blood in an attempt to synthesize a cure for the illness he ends up transforming into the Green Goblin. The end of the film would see Spidey and Goblin fight with Goblin losing and barely escaping with his life, which brings us to the fragile state we meet Norman in in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Juan suggested following this film with the film Goddard's Sinister 6 before making a spin-off of Spider-Man 2099 that would act as its captain in an America-type franchise but instead of a World War II period film it would be set in the future in the year 2099. and Being an origin story for Miguel O'Hara, the ending of the film would see Miguel be sent back in time to present-day New York City.

This film would be followed by a Venom film that would see the origin story of Eddie Brock and his eventual defeat by Spider. -Man ends with Eddie being sent to Rikers and after the credits scene Carnage would be established, but before we get to that movie we get a black cat movie that would see Felicia Hardy get her lucky powers from the Kingpin. This movie would end with an encounter with Spider-Man leading him to realize that she is not the bad person she seems to be, eventually all of these movies would culminate in an Avengers type movie that would see Spidey the black cat, Venom and Spidey 2099 team up to take down Carnage, obviously, none of this.

It ended up coming to fruition when Sony realized they had no idea what they were doing and turned to Marble for help. You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you back to me? And while they were negotiating a deal to bring in Spider-Man. In the MCU it soon became apparent that Andrew Garfield would not be going with him and the reason may be more petty than you think, although it was probably the result of a number of different factors, the first being the fact that Garfield did not show up to a planned meeting. press event in Rio offended Sony's top brass.

His terrible moment already began when Sony CEO Kaz Hirai had planned to mention Garfield in his speech and then die alongside him at dinner. Garfield arrived in Rio with a scruffy beard and claimed to feel under the weather and exhausted after getting off the plane an hour before the event, Garfield pulled out, ruining plans, many studio executives at Sony were understandably embarrassed by the absence Garfield's last-minute announcement, while Sony CEO Kaz Hirai felt personally slighted. Garfield would continue rubbing the studio. wrongly again by publicly blaming them for meddling and ruining what hehe felt it was a solid script for Amazing Spider-Man 2 saying: I read the script that Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orsi wrote and overall I loved it.

I think what happened was when you have something. that works as a whole and then you start removing parts and you say no that doesn't work then the threat is broken and it's hard to follow the flow of the story, certain people in the studio had problems with certain parts and Ultimately, the studio has the final say on those movies because they are the pillars, so you have to answer to the people that I signed up to substitute the story and serve this incredible character that I've been dressing up since I was three years old, yeah.

Then he is, he looks compromised and he breaks, he breaks, you break my heart, but I broke my heart a little. It's also debatable how much of a fan Kevin Feige was of Garfield's performance, as he criticized it for being too emotional after seeing an early cut. of the second film he says that Andrew's performance is all over the place, a lot of crying and then a lot of mania. It's hard to track it down emotionally. He also sometimes undermines his reaction to Gwen's death because he gets so angry and emotional. It's also evident that Kevin was also not a big fan of Webb's characterization of Peter Parker or that the story revolving around his father commenting that he is not sure what Peter learns at Roosevelt is completely correct.

We're distracted by the idea that Peter became Spider-Man because of his father's blood, the whole special backstory with his super-scientist father, fights with the idea that Peter was a normal kid from Queens who becomes into the world's greatest superhero according to these comments. I imagine that when the time came to explore, I would bring in Spider-Man. In the MCU, Kevin probably advocated for rebooting and recasting the characters so he could get rid of Richard Parker's story and make Peter a normal kid and find a younger actor to play him to return him to high school, which is exactly what they ended up doing when Stanley and Steve Ditko created him in the early '60s.

He wasn't an independent hero in Manhattan, but a kid with

amazing

powers trying to compete and do his best in a world where Iron Man is in a tower and an ivory forest. another planet and Steve Rogers was frozen in ice for 70 years and with the success of the mcu version of Spider-Man, Sony was once again encouraged to try to create their own Spider-Man cinematic universe and the results so far have been mixed. While Venom was a huge box office hit, its sequel only did half the business. Morbius fared even worse when the comically bad movie became an internet meme and it's a sign of how out of touch Sony XXR announced the movie would be making a comeback. theaters weeks after its initial theatrical release, thinking that the film's explosion of attention online was because fans really loved it, not understanding that everyone was making fun of it upon its re-release, the film flopped and Sony he quickly pulled it from theaters again.

Let's not forget it either. about this Force post-credits scene where Morbius and the Vulture decide to team up that included a stand-in since Michael Keaton didn't even bother to show up to film it and I can't say I blame Sony. Slade is Craven. The Hunter features what appears to be Rhino as the main villain and with Andrew Garfield's return to the role of Spider-Man combined with Sony's insistence on creating its own cinematic universe, one can help but wonder if Sony plans to bring Garfield back from I return to take care of everything. From these villains perhaps there is hope for Drew Goddard's Sinister Six script, after all, remember he wrote it to be a standalone adventure and goes on to say that it could easily fit anywhere.

Amy Pascal also recently said that he is ready to make his movie whenever he wants, thanks for watching everyone and don't forget to like and subscribe to Bullets and Blockbusters for more great content.
