Sony have recently announced that they are aiming to put out a new Spider-Man movie EVERY YEAR in a move that mirrors Disney/Marvel Studios' strategy that has seen at least one new Marvel movie in theatres every year since Iron Man 2 in 2010. Sony has also talked about expanding the Spidey-verse to include separate Venom and Sinister Six movies and, with over 50 years' worth of Spider-Man comics, there's a lot of material Sony could use to make their Spidey-a-year plan come to fruition. So what potential Spider-Man stories Sony could develop? Here are some ideas of the biggest Spider-Man stories we've yet to see make it to the big screen. Note: these aren't necessarily great Spider-Man comics however as X-Men: Days of Future Past shows, you can take a crappy comic and turn it into a great movie (I'm just guessing as I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure X-Men: DOFP will be a fun ride). The point is: the potential is in the storyline and how a different artist can develop it in a new and different way, not necessarily the way the comic itself is handled by the original creative team. Here are 10 essential Spidey storylines that should become awesome movies.
