The project, however, is been deleted from Sony Pictures. Vanderbilt said: “Yes, for Spider-Man 4 we had a complete script ready but Sony Pictures reached out to other great writers to improve it. They changed a few things, and about a year later the studio realized they wanted to go a different path.”
At that point, the negotiations led to Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire to abandon the project and Sony Picutres to prefer a reboot to a sequel. Finally, the lead role was entrusted to Andrew Garfield.
