Spider-Man 4′s Now Dead Plot
Why did Spider-Man 4 die? Avatar, that is why. Apparently Sam Raimi was absolutely floored when he saw the stunning visual effects in James Cameron’s opus. He demanded a bigger CGI budget from Sony, who were unfortunately not on the same page. This back and forth between budget and creativity eventually contributed to Spider-Man’s downfall, and its new plan for a reboot.
It’s a shame that we won’t be seeing The Vulture being played by John Malkovich, but just in case you were curious, we also have a short summary of what the movie was supposed to be about. Read it, and think of what could have been. Hell, if anything, at least it is good fan-fiction fodder.
Peter Parker gets over MJ, finds a new girl, falls in love. But: Peter also discovers her father is actually the Vulture, a naughty green guy with wings to be played by John Malkovich. Peter is torn between the love of his new lady and taking down the Vulture. Being a Spandex tight-ass, he decides to take down the Vulture, and kills him. This patricide goes down poorly with Peter’s new fiancée, and she rejects him. Despondent, Peter decides to abandon his superpowers, and Movie No. 4 ends with Peter Parker throwing away his Spider-Man mask, and audiences wondering if they are watching Superman II. [Vulture]
