Bruce Campbell was gonna be Mysterio in Riami's Spider-Man 4
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.
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.
^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.
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.

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