8 Spider-Man Movies That Almost Happened
5. The Amazing Spider-Man 3
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was desperate to spin a web of expanded universe titles, with easter eggs and potential sequel setups in every other scene.
Many of these titles would have launched out of The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which was scheduled to swing into cinemas on June 10, 2016.
Mark Webb, who helmed the first two Andrew Garfield instalments, was officially announced as director in February 2014 and Garfield's contract compelled him to make at least one more outing in red and white.
Paul Giamatti confirmed that he would be reappearing as petty thug the Rhino, but everything else that's ever been written on the subject of The Amazing Spider-Man 3 should be filed under rumour and speculation.
Reports suggest a cloned version of Gwen Stacy may have appeared in the film, along with at least one other member of the Sinister Six to set up the mooted spinoff, as well as J. Jonah Jameson and Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was killed off when its predecessor failed to live up to box office expectations and the rights to old Web Head reverted back to Marvel Studios.
