Spider-Man 4

Note: Please do  not  add "Co-Star Bill Nunn died in 2016" or "Stan Lee died in 2018", because this project was thought of  before  either person died.

Spider-Man 4 was the planned sequel to Spider-Man Trilogy, for what would have been the 4th film in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man franchise. It was planned to be released on May 6, 2011.

Plot
The storyline for Spider-Man 4 was going to take place 5 years after the events of Spider-Man 3. Peter Parker was going to leave Mary-Jane and enter into a new relationship with Felicia Hardy, A.K.A. the Black-Cat. However, they were going to be brought into conflict when Peter was going to kill Felicia's father, the sinister super villain known as the Vulture. The planned script ended with a despondant and regretful Peter losing his powers and discarding his Spider-Man suit in a dark alleyway on a stormy night, ending the franchise on a sour note.

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) Sam Raimi was displeased with how Spider-Man 3 turned out.
 * 2) The release date became an issue since Sam Raimi couldn't meet the Summer 2011 release date that Sony wanted.
 * 3) Sony wanted Lizard to be in the film but Sam Raimi wanted to stick with Vulture, Black Cat and Mysterio.
 * 4) The storyline championed by Raimi was dour and downbeat, with a main antagonist that wasn't seen as marketable enough by Sony executives, who preferred someone more visually interesting, like Mysterio, Lizard or Carnage.
