10 Insanely Dark Marvel Moments That Will Never Make It To Film
9. Spider-Man Sells His Soul To The Devil
Urgh. The whole ill-conceived One More Day storyline is one that not even the most ardent of Spidey fans can defend. Not content with being a true stinker, the arc also features some happenings that will (thankfully) never make it to the big screen.
When Aunt May is fatally shot in the aftermath of Civil War, Peter Parker ends up striking a deal with the Devil himself, Mephisto, in order to breathe new life back into his beloved Aunt and to make his once secret identity “secret” again. As ever, there’s a price to be paid for this favour.
The price was Peter choosing to erase his marriage to the pregnant Mary Jane. Yep, in a completely selfish act so that he doesn’t lose his Aunt, Peter sacrifices his marriage, his wife, his unborn child, and a whole lot of the respect that Spider-Man fans had for him. He even got berated by a vision of his daughter-to-be, not to mention the spirit of Aunt May told him to leave her dead because she'd had a good life!
Unless Marvel Studios choose to make the latest cinematic Peter Parker look like an absolute joke, don’t expect to be seeing One More Day play out in the MCU.
