Another prolific director who almost had a shot at Spider-Man before Sam Raimi, David Fincher described his would-be Spidey movie in an interview with io9 in 2011: "My impression what Spider-Man could be is very different from what Sam did or what Sam wanted to do. I think the reason he directed that movie was because he wanted to do the Marvel comic superhero. I was never interested in the genesis story. I couldn't get past a guy getting bit by a red and blue spider. It was just a problem It was not something that I felt I could do straight-faced. I wanted to start with Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin, and I wanted to kill Gwen Stacy." Fincher is known as a perfectionist and his films are certainly prove of such. Quite frankly, it would be interesting to see the director tackle any superhero movie.
