10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon
8. There Was Going To Be A Venom Spin-Off
Spectacular Spider-Man being ended early was a great shame - largely because it was not from a lack of talent by the creators, or a lack of fans, but rather because of complications that arose from Disney buying Marvel.
But, as it turns out, this didn't just stifle the Spectacular Spider-Man series. Showrunner Greg Weisman revealed that Venom appeared often in the extra thirty-nine episodes that were planned but never made.
Had audiences reacted well to Venom, the plan was then to have the Klyntar feature in a spin-off series of his own, that would presumably focus around a version of Venom that was more like the anti-hero we see in comics today.
This would have been downright fascinating to watch, and so it's even more of shame that the show was canned before it could spawn this potentially stellar spin-off. It could have been a great way to establish the wider Spidey world, and to make sure that nobody ever felt too overloaded with shows solely based around Peter Parker (although how anyone could is a mystery).
Tragically, it remains only a fun idea for now.
