Long before anyone really knew what a "Cinematic Universe" was, some studios still considered attempting to have their heroes meet up with others. A Batman v Superman movie was on the cards for years, while Fox and Sony even plotted to have Wolverine meet Spider-Man at one point. It never worked out though, and Marvel didn't have a lot of luck when they considered introducing a surprising connection between Iron Man and Spidey. It wasn't going to be a major cameo as such, but an early draft of the script featured a mention of the fact that Tony played a role in the creation of Doctor Octopus' robotic arms. This happened during such an early stage of production that further details about what this would have involved have never been revealed. It was more than likely scrapped though not only because it might have been a little confusing as regular moviegoers and fans alike scrambled to figure out how the two worlds were connected, but also due to rights issues. Regardless, with Spider-Man now set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peter Parker and Iron Man will be meeting on the big screen properly for the first time next year...
