The MCU could have looked a whole lot different.
Long before Sam Raimi brought our favorite neighborhood Spider-Man to the big screen, James Cameron was very interested in creating his own version of the hero. The director known for his celebrated films like Terminator 2, Avatar, and Titanic revealed that his “greatest movie never made” was Spider-Man.
In a recent Zoom roundtable with SceenCrush, James Cameron revealed that he had spent several years trying to get his Spider-Man movie off the ground. Many studios wouldn’t support his web-slinger since Marvel, at the time, had only made one film—Howard the Duck.
Superhero movies weren’t respectable, and making a film based on a Marvel character was an uphill battle in Hollywood.
