As much as I would have loved to have seen James Cameron’s version of Spider-Man, looking at how everything turned out, I can honestly say that I am happy everything worked out the way it did. I honestly am unsure of how Leonardo DiCaprio would have taken on the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man but I am extremely happy with the 3 actors we ended up getting in the end.
I remember that poster with DiCaprio in Wizard Magazine when I was in middle school. I worked on the school paper, and I even mentioned it in comic-centric section--specifically that the poster was a parody, and not official. Still looks good, though. Though, with as many misgivings I might have with this first draft script, I would've been all for Nikki Cox playing Mary Jane.
As happy as I am with the various Spider-Man movies we ended up getting, I would've liked to have seen this version. It's so different from every other take on the character, both live action and animated
Another great video. I’d love to see a legends of fandom for the planned Amazing Spider-Man universe, the Batman Beyond movie, or Tarantino’s Luke Cage
This one seemed he have gone in a similar direction as Amazing Spider-Man. Which is odd since that movie made those changes because a more traditional Spider-Man trilogy already happened 8:55 There’s an episode of Pokemon where Team Rocket has that exact plan. It’s why I can’t take that concept seriously

I'm glad we got the films we did: Toby, Andrew, and Tom are Peter Parker. I'm also glad they ignored the letter in Amazing Spider-Man 375 saying Jim Carrey should be Peter/Spider-Man. That said I now wonder what would've happened had Canon and Cameron been allowed to make their films.
While I'm extremely happy we ended up Sam Raimi's version, that doesn't mean I would've still loved to have seen this movie. Despite the liberties it makes on the mythology of Spider-Man, Cameron understood the character very well and had some good quips and jokes. With the opening having him complain the news mistypes his name as "The Spiderman" and not "Spider-Man". Also, his costume was described to be very accurate to the comics. Regardless if you think Cameron wasn't a fan, he presented the Scriptment to Stan Lee, and he LOVED it. The whole reason Cameron's X-Men never happened was because Stan Lee sparked a conversation with Cameron and they both talked all about Spider-Man. Cameron even went out of his way to make a concept art that's been revealed online that mirrors the 2000 PS1 cover. In Cameron's recent book, he also revealed he wanted the sequel to feature Venom because he said he was his favorite Spider-Man villain. In terms of the casting, aside from Leonardo DiCaprio as Spider-Man, I don't know if the actors you mentioned are real or just typical fancasting as none of the actors you mentioned confirmed their involvement besides DiCaprio. But the movie would've also had some amazing special effects, back when Cameron did practical and CGI sparely. You know a stunt actor would've really swung across the city like the Helicopter chase from Darkman, and you know the Twin Towers finale would've been shot there, and not on green screen.
Happy with the way things turned out, while Cameron is a great film maker, and i may of enjoyed the film. taking the lore and changing it to suit what you want has always urked me, even in films i have enjoyed.
About the organic web shooters: I honestly think that "gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets superpowers, wallclimbing ability and the webshooters out of it" is actually less far fetched than ""gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets superpowers, wallclimbing ability and happens to be a total genius who happens to invent webshooters around the same time". Don't get me wrong, Spidey is one of my favourite superheroes if not THE favourite, and the webshooter thing isn't a showstopper for me, but I like the grown ones a little better. :)
Even though I prefer the Spider-Man movies we have today (apart from Amazing Spider-Man 2) I would like to see someone try to recrate this film to see what it might of been like because I am interested
While the idea of Cameron's Spider-man seems interesting, I feel like it would age like milk if it got made. I genuinely enjoy what we have and thou some of the Spider-man movies could be better I don't believe we would've gotten half of them if Cameron got his way. With that being said it is always fun to speculate what if. Regardless have a nice day Erod :D
Personally I'd be interested to see the universe this slightly harder edge Spider-Man was made, especially since Brand New Day Marvel has insisted Spider-Man be an "all-ages" brand (kids only) with drugs, sex, swearing and anything generally related to being an adult being phased out from all incarnations of the character. Spider-Man these days is more or less just "Thwip Thwip, Quip Quip" so I'm curious if the Cameron movie would have delayed that change or brought it on earlier.
Some cancelled films to do videos for: Superman 5 Tim Burton’s Batman 3 Joel Schumacher's Batman 3 George Miller’s Justice League The Amazing Spider-Man 3
James Cameron would’ve done a pretty good job. Honestly though, the sex scenes, inaccurate versions of the characters, and an R rating would’ve killed it as well. This is Spider-Man we are talking about. The last time we had a gritty Spider-Man was TASM, and that film was initially not well received.
The Christmas Tree line sounded more like something I'd expect from Deadpool. Both in terms of dialogue and action. I also could've done without the creepy Spidey bondage sex scene with him and MJ where he talks about the mating habits of spiders!
I highly doubt James Cameron is a fan of Spiderman, and I'm glad his movie was never made. Seriously, Electro and Sandman are more like henchmen rather than criminal masterminds. He should have chosen Green Goblin, Doc Ock or even Kingpin.
You gotta admit that Electro wasn't all that of an interesting character before, and there's a good reason why most versions of him are so different from his original story. Hell, Sandman was never that interesting of a character until the early 90s. Speaking of Green Goblin, James Cameron wrote a book recently that mentioned this film, and he actually said he hated Green Goblin and Shocker. Venom was his favorite. So much so, that his plan for the sequel was intended to introduce Venom.
I didn’t like the choices James had for the villain. I hated the idea of Arnold as Doc Ock. I am glad we got the the Sam Rami Spider-Man movies instead. Although I like his Mary Jane more.
This episode was released in February 2273 RE, which means it should've been released in December 2267 RE! (I'm not counting the previous episode about BatGirl, for that was still in production at the time!). So tell us ERod, why did you cancel Legends of Fandom for 4 years... if you still had plenty of material to work with? 😮😢 Looks to me that you don't respect your fans, at all!! #SueERod
And now he doesn’t care about super hero movies he’s too busy making blue monkey cats that have a message about trees and whales and make shit ton of money as a result. What is world
Ironically, his "blue monkey cats" movies have made bigger profit than most of Marvel's movies. Not saying it's a good film, but it's still first place.
Also your not wrong on the World Trade Center thing it was used as a teaser and original poster for the first Sony film but……😥 yeah we all know what happened

Leonardo DiCaprio's Spider-Man should make a cameo in Across The Spider-Verse
The entire idea needed more work, but 90s Kevin Spacey would have been amazing as Norman Osborn.
I'm excited about this one. I love anything spiderman

I'd love to see this made into a comic like Tim Burton's Batman 89 comics or Freddy vs Jason vs Ash.

Honestly, I would have like to have seen it.
Honestly a horror style wouldn't be so out of pocket for Spiderman given both Sam Raimi's and steve ditko's carrears!
Effectively, it could have been a live action version of the Man-Spider story, where Peter mutates into a hulking spider monster
I'm glad we got the films we did: Toby, Andrew, and Tom are Peter Parker. I'm also glad they ignored the letter in Amazing Spider-Man 375 saying Jim Carrey should be Peter/Spider-Man. That said I now wonder what would've happened had Canon and Cameron been allowed to make their films.

Looking back, I’m happy with what I ended up with when it comes to Spider-Man. It isn’t perfect but it’s better.
I'm happier we got the Raimi/Webb/MCU movies rather than Cameron's. adaptation.
Happy with the way things turned out, while Cameron is a great film maker, and i may of enjoyed the film. taking the lore and changing it to suit what you want has always urked me, even in films i have enjoyed.

I read Cameron's script years ago.
If it's PG-13 then yeah. I would love to see. An R movie of Spider-Man would be good if he got the black suite at the time
Even though I prefer the Spider-Man movies we have today (apart from Amazing Spider-Man 2) I would like to see someone try to recrate this film to see what it might of been like because I am interested

With that being said it is always fun to speculate what if. Regardless have a nice day Erod :D
Then we would have gotten the water scenes. Because James Cameron is the master of water
This feels like bad fan fiction
I’m glad this film was never made, we might not have ever have witnessed the amazing (no pun-intended) Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy!
It would be cool to see this script get adapted into a graphic novel
Maybe this is why Cameron is always bashing comic book films, he never got to make one himself.
I think Sam Rami was the right move.
Can you do Wolfgang Petersen’s Batman vs Superman from between 2002-2004?
8:34 And it isn't even Max Dillon.
Personally I'd be interested to see the universe this slightly harder edge Spider-Man was made, especially since Brand New Day Marvel has insisted Spider-Man be an "all-ages" brand (kids only) with drugs, sex, swearing and anything generally related to being an adult being phased out from all incarnations of the character.

Anyone else think Kevin Spacey would have been a solid Norman Osborn? Idk about Green Goblin though.
I'm honestly glad that movie was never made. It goes against everything I love about Spider-Man.
I'm so glad this movie was never made. It didn't sound like it would be any good. Despite Cameron's enthusiasm.
The Christmas Tree line sounded more like something I'd expect from Deadpool. Both in terms of dialogue and action.
I also could've done without the creepy Spidey bondage sex scene with him and MJ where he talks about the mating habits of spiders!
Can you do batman triumphant
I’m glad this movie was never made
upset the Spiderman home movies aren't in Disney + I find it unfair
Any chance of a Legends of Fandom around them butchering the Inhumans?

One question: does it have blue aliens in it?
Maybe Yondu would have made a cameo. XD
I didn’t like the choices James had for the villain. I hated the idea of Arnold as Doc Ock. I am glad we got the the Sam Rami Spider-Man movies instead. Although I like his Mary Jane more.
I can’t find the teaser trailer
oh man, Nikki Cox would have perfect as Maryjane Watson....wonder what shes upto these days
Meh, better this than anything Avatar-related at this point.

Yeah I'd probably hate this movie more than the MCU & Raimi movies combined so no thanks.
And now he doesn’t care about super hero movies he’s too busy making blue monkey cats that have a message about trees and whales and make shit ton of money as a result. What is world
