12 Alternative Versions Of Sci-Fi Movies We Didn't Get To See
11. Michael Chabon's Spider-Man 2
There’s a name you’d never expect to see attached to Sam Raimi’s campy Spider-Man series. Nevertheless, it seems that Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Chabon, hot off the crossover success of his literary novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, was given a shot at scripting Raimi’s Spider-Man sequel, and the version he conjured up is—unrecognizable, to say the least.
First of all, Doc Oc isn’t as troubled by his transformation, actively enjoying both the powers and the pain which come with them. He’s also a love interest of Mary Jane’s and Peter’s rival for her affections, with the love triangle between them making up the bulk of the story.
However, when this version of Doc Oc murders two muggers on a date with MJ she turns on him, and thus the Harry Osborne/ Doc Oc alliance seen in the version of Spider-Man 2 that we all know and love comes about.
