8 Spider-Man Movies That Almost Happened
4. The Amazing Spider-Man 4
The Amazing Spider-Man 4 is a more tenuous concept than a third Andrew Garfield movie, but it did have a release date penciled in - May 4, 2018.
So what else do we know about this ill-fated movie? Well, for starters it wouldn't have been directed by Marc Webb, who confirmed plans to vacate the director's chair while remaining on board as a series adviser.
Sony's proposed Spider-Man universe would be in full swing by this point, with Sinister Six and a female-focused spinoff scheduled to arrive before Amazing Spider-Man 4.
Spidey was expected to have a role in both spinoffs as the common thread binding them together ahead of his return to the spotlight in the fourth core outing.
Garfield's involvement was not a given as the contract he failed to see out was only for three movies.
