    ^Oh man, that would have been all kinds of epic! It would also explain how he kept popping up as different people in the franchise.

        The article goes on to say that both Mysterio and The Vulture would have been in the fourth film. I think that would have again been one villain too many, one of the problems that plagued Spider-man 3. Either one would have been great, and certainly made for a better film than either of the Garcia efforts.

        I think Sony was concerned Maguire and Dunst we're both getting a little long in the tooth for the version of Spider-Man they wanted. I disagree, but that was part of the reason for the reboot.

          Oh man, "Epic" is the best way to describe what we missed out on, there. That sucks as I would have loved to see that.

            I'm surprised it would have been the Vulture instead of Lizard. More than Bruce Campbell, Dylan Baker sat in the wings for two entire movies waiting for an appearance as The Lizard that never happened.

              Bruce always swore up and down that he was suppose to play Mysterio. This proves it.

                ^Yeah, I REALLY wanted to see Baker as the Lizard. I still like my fan plot of Dylan becoming the Lizard, and Kraven the Hunter being an unscrupulous reality TV star who comes to hunt him.

                    Agree with you 100%!!

                    Also the movie sounds like it would have been awesome. Would love to see Vulture or Mysterio in 1 of the new movies.

                      I don't know how long Bruce would have been in the film. It says they were going to have a barrage of secondary villains like Prowler and Molten Man. I guess that means we catch Spidey as he's wrapping up the fight.

                      The last script called for Vulture and a "Lady Vulture", who was his daughter or sister. That was Malkovich and Anne Hathaway.

                      Campbell was originally Connors. Sony nixed it when Raimi laid out Lizard as the Spidey 2 villain as Campbell was considered B-level at the time. I think the Doc Ock backstory was originally meant for Campbell's Connor. Raimi had a lot of factors changed on him during production.

                        Scooby Doo ending?

                        I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for that meddling Spider-Man.

                          I think this would have just been a cameo for Bruce.

                            Your fan plot? That's bizarre! I wrote the exact same story...I even picked Gerard Butler to play Kraven.

                              Rumor has it that Vulture is happening and it might be Michael Keaton. He is kinda bald and creepy these days.
