10 Superhero Films You Won't Believe Could Have Happened

James Cameron hasn't been quiet about his lack of enthusiasm for superhero movies. He's, uh, not exactly their biggest advocate. That's particularly interesting, since he actually pursued a Spider-Man film back in the day.

In 1990, Carolco Pictures held the film rights to the character, and Cameron was their guy. Two scripts existed. One of them would've featured Arnold Schwarzenegger as Doc Ock (wow). The other, written by Cameron, had villains who were BASED ON Electro and Sandman.

This version would've featured Peter cussing A LOT. But you just wait - it gets better. He would've woken up one morning to find a mass of white goo under his blanket, sticking him to his sheets. Hooray.

More sex(y?) stuff: he would've spied on Mary Jane as she undressed. Also, the two of them would've had sex atop the Brooklyn Bridge. "What was their foreplay like?" you ask. Weird. It was weird. Take note, fellas: he got her in the mood by describing the mating rituals of various spiders, all while doing some weird spider dance.

WHAT?!

Who would've starred as this weird, angsty, sex-crazed Spider-Man? The studio wanted Leonardo DiCaprio, but Edward Furlong was apparently in the mix, as well.

Whew. Just whew.
