10 More Movies That Almost Had Much Better Endings

10. Peter Meets His Father - The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Though Andrew Garfield's iteration of Peter Parker may have hit new heights of popularity in the wake of Spider-Man: No Way Home, his own Spidey franchise wasn't so well received. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014 fell particularly flat, with the ending teasing something further that never came to fruition.

The final moments of the movie saw Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn begin to set up the Sinister Six, while Peter was dragged out of his downward spiral of depression following the death of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) to return to the superhero life. This teed up an epic rematch with Rhino (Paul Giamatti) from the opening scenes that was spoiled by a cut to credits, finishing things in the most infuriating way possible.

One of the heavier themes throughout Andrew Garfield's second Spider-Man film was how he was affected by the loss of his parents, something that would have taken a new direction had the alternate ending in which he actually met his father face to face made the cut.

It is a scene that would have raised questions, certainly, but it saw Andrew Garfield put in some of his finest and most emotional work as Peter Parker, as his first conversation with his dad since he was a small boy helped push him towards making his triumphant return as Spidey.
