Spider-Man: 10 Dumbest Ideas Sony Had For The Franchise Before Teaming With Marvel

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was an overly busy, convoluted load of old rubbish, but if you thought that was bad, then things were only going to get worse in the officially announced sequel. In the third chapter, the wall-crawler was going to create a formula that would bring back the dead, resurrecting both Captain Stacy and Gwen (presumably, Uncle Ben would have also returned in some capacity).

The lead villain was set to be Harry Osborn's Green Goblin (again), but the movie would have also seen Norman Osborn as a Goblin - after that formula was used on his severed head, which was being kept in what was essentially a jar in the bowels of Oscorp.

Marc Webb has also alluded to The Vulture and Sinister Six showing up, while The Gentleman was expected to take on a much larger role in proceedings as well. Needless to say, this all sounds completely crazy and it's hard to imagine this being anything other than a disaster.

However, it's hard not to wish it hadn't happened just to see how ridiculous the whole thing would have been (an official still has actually confirmed plans for the aforementioned severed head).
