A long time ago, I talked to you in the push about some concept designs for Tobey Maguire's version of the "Spider-Man 4-5-6" movie abandoned by Sony Pictures, and at the beginning of Maguire's version of the "Spider-Man" trilogy almost made a box office record, which can be called the most successful comic book superhero movie of that era.
For this reason, the early Sony Pictures did not actually stop at "Spider-Man 3", in fact, at that time, Sony Pictures had planned a follow-up "Spider-Man" series of movies, which took "Spider-Man 4" as an example -
In Sony Pictures' original plan, if Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man 4" was filmed at that time, its content setting would be the villain "Vulture", and at the same time, according to the design at that time, Angelina Jolie will also join the movie!
It is worth mentioning that:
According to the original movie concept design, Angelina Jolie will be the daughter of the villain "Vulture" in "Spider-Man 4", and based on what Sean O'Connor described in his new book "With Great Power" centered on "Spider-Man", although the death of "Vulture" ended in "Spider-Man 4", at the same time, Sony Pictures also planned to create a female character in the movie, the daughter of the vulture, and planned to let it take over the vulture's mantle.
Obviously, the actor candidate for this "female vulture" will most likely be Angelina Jolie at that time.
Of course, in order to make Angelina Jolie better interpret the role, Sony Pictures not only prepared the role of "female vulture" for Angelina Jolie, in fact, in Sean O'Connell's book, Sony Pictures prepared for Julie another female executive role, "an accomplished executive representing a venture capital firm trying to buy Daily Bugle."
And as for the "vulture" Adrian Toomes:
The book also mentions some of director Sam Raimi's new premise ideas for the role, such as how the feathers on the vulture's wings are "designed to flip like sharp blades."
Even in the character's iconic scene shots, director Sam Raimi wanted the vulture to have a scene comparable to Dr. Octopus in the hospital, and storyboard artist Jeffrey Henderson said that the scene designed for the vulture ended up with nothing but bones left as his name suggests, "because when he was done, he left nothing but bones".
Jeffrey Henderson:
"He's essentially a guy who does a lot of ugly things for the government, a lot of ugly things as a private contractor... I think a smart thing is to say that part of the reason they call him a vulture is that when he was done, he left nothing but bones (wreckage). ”
In the concept design scene, Vulture and Spider-Man fought all the way to the top of the T-shaped Citigroup Center on Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, and in this battle, Vulture almost killed Spider-Man, but in the end, Spider-Man's protagonist aura gave Peter Parker a glimmer of life.
"They're going to fight and the vulture almost kills Spider-Man, and then Spider-Man really gets hurt at the last minute, bleeds so badly that he's really in trouble. But in the end, Spider-Man turned against the wind and forced the vulture to leave..."
Meanwhile:
In the original "Spider-Man 4" concept design, the director also designed an MJ for "Spider-Man 4" to leave, and Peter Parker finally reconciled with himself and began to officially accept the fact that he was Spider-Man inside out, and then more classic Spider-Man villains will begin to appear on the screen, such as Mysterio, thriller and so on.
However, in the end, "Spider-Man 4" and subsequent episodes were not launched, because Sam Raimi wanted to shoot according to his own ideas at that time, but this contradicted some ideas of Sony Pictures' executives, and finally Sam Raimi chose to give up.
Although the movie was not made, if there is a "Spider-Man 4" movie in the future, Henderson revealed that director Sam Raimi hopes that the entire film style can return to the tone and texture of comics in the 60s and early 70s of the 20th century.
