One of the best superhero movies ever seen by audiences around the world would be Sam Raimi’s Spider Man series, hands down. The film series that reincarnated the iconic web-slinger for mainstream audiences and fans on the big screen immediately caused a stir after the first film was released in 2002 and continued until the end of Spiderman 3 in 2007. Many big fans of the Spider-Man comics and the character in general were more than happy with the direction as well as Tobey Maguire’s portrayal of the friendly neighborhood superhero.
But alas, the series was canceled by Sony Pictures and Marvel after the third installment for various reasons.
Although with the recent details of the now canceled Spiderman 4 Now resurfacing into the light, it looks like Sam Raimi was ready to give Peter Parker hell and come back with what was considered to be one of the darkest scripts of all the previous ones, which could also be seen in Spider-Man: No Coming Home.
Why would Spider-Man 4 have been such a dark undertaking?
With Spiderman 4The storyboards are now released to the public after the bad fate the movie suffered, it slowly begins to figure out how the story would have progressed. Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 4 would have to face one of the biggest challenges not as Spider-Man, but as Peter Parker, which was even more daunting, just because it would have shown him separated of the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson.

Jeffery Henderson, the film’s lead writer, revealed that Spiderman 4 would become the darkest addition as it would be a difficult time in Parker’s life due to the loss of Mary Jane Watson. This possibility had always been a potential clue for the film because towards the end of Spiderman 3, we see them reconcile, but never starting their relationship again. Now that storyboards are within everyone’s reach, Henderson has confirmed the dark fate that awaits Peter Parker in Spider-man 4.
“We were going to open the movie with this montage of all the bad guys that we knew Sam could never use in the Spider-Man movies…because Peter, now that MJ [Mary Jane] is gone, he’s finally made peace, and he loves being Spider-Man.
While we may never see the fourth installment in Sam Raimi’s series, we may have seen a glimpse of that dark future lately, specifically in Marvel Studios. Spider-Man: No Coming Home.

As witnessed Spider-Man: No Coming Home, Maguire’s Peter Parker was introduced as the very mature and very well-behaved version of the three. Of course, being the oldest Parker of them, he had experience, but the way he talked about being Spider-Man more than Peter Parker led some to believe that this version spent more time at swinging on the web of life as a friendly neighborhood superhero than the normal Peter Parker. This, in turn, prompted speculation that Peter had lost his GM and was now roaming his world to do what was right.
In the end, the Spider-Men, regardless of their universe, always make the toughest choices, hiding their pain behind their masks of justice.
