4. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Series
Marvel Studios/SonyIn the realms of NEVER going to happen, this one certainly fits the bill. The third film in the Spidey saga had been hit with a lot of criticism, most of it justified. Venom was crammed into the movie at the behest of the studios. Peter Parker going all emo didn't make for an engaging hero and the angst of his relationship with Mary Jane Watson made her plain irritating. However the development of Sandman made for another thought-provoking villain in the vein of Doc Ock. If you ignore the retcon of Flint Marko killing Uncle Ben, he was a great addition to the franchise. A fourth Spider-Man film was a chance for Sam Raimi to redeem himself, hopefully with less studio interference this time round. In the midst of rumours of John Malkovich as the Vulture and Anne Hathaway as the Black Cat / Felicia Hardy, Sony announced plans to reboot the series but still give Raimi the chance to close off his saga first. Apparently Sam Raimi wanted more time and the studio wouldn't budge on its planned release date for the reboot. Which was ridiculous; for the sake of maybe a year or two's delay Sony would have gotten two Spider-Man films and made millions. Most importantly, Spider-Man 4 would have been that chance for Raimi to bring closure to his series. Given that with Spider-Man 2 he had delivered one of the best superhero sequels of all time, didn't he deserve the chance to achieve that?
