10 Things You Won’t Believe Were Cut From Spider-Man Movies

10. The Return Of Richard Parker (Amazing Spider-Man 2)

At one point, director Mark Webb considered ending The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with a shock return. While Peter Parker is mourning at Gwen Stacy's graveside in the final act, his supposedly-dead father pays him a visit.

There's no explanation for how Richard Parker survived that plane crash, or where he's been for all this time, but he does utter the immortal phrase "with great power comes great responsibility", which is always a bonus.

It's an emotionally charged scene and Andrew Garfield nails it, displaying despondence, anger, confusion, and finally love and acceptance, all in rapid succession, showing off his range as an actor (albeit one who wasn't right for Spidey).

As well as adding the series' famous tagline to the sequel, this scene also served as motivation for Peter, inspiring him to suit up and swing back into action. Presumably more would have been revealed about Richard's return in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, if Webb had been given the opportunity to make it.
