Yet, for as many Spider-Man films are there are now, there are a significant number that never came to pass. Related: All 6 Canceled Superman Movies (& Why They Didn't Happen)įorty years after they were created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for the world of Marvel Comics in 1962, Spider-Man joined the Man of Steel and Caped Crusader on the big screen and has starred in a half-dozen more live-action movies since then (in addition to showing up in MCU crossovers and the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse). This grounds the web-slinger - regardless of who's wearing the mask - in a way that makes them accessible to novices and non-hardcore comic book fans, arguably even more so than equally popular superhero icons like Superman and Batman. The character's popularity has long been attributed to their working-class roots and relatable nature: unlike other superheroes, Spider-Man is neither rich nor an extraterrestrial, and has to juggle the challenges of being a crime-fighter with school, work, family, and love (usually all at the same time). Whether it's Tom Holland getting up to all manner of teenaged shenanigans as Peter Parker in the MCU, Yuri Lowenthal's twenty-something Peter Parker protecting NYC in Insomniac's Spider-Man video game, or spider-heroes like Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, and even Spider-Ham traversing the multiverse in the animated Spider-Verse franchise (to mention nothing of the ongoing Spider-Man comic books and cartoon series), there's more than plenty of Spider-entertainment to go around.
There are few superheroes more ubiquitous than the web-slinger and their pals these days. Here's every unmade Spider-Man movie, and why they were canceled.
