It will be released on December 17. Spider-Man: Far From Home and it will be the eleventh movie in the Spiderman Universe. What many do not know is that it could have been the twelve if it were to roll The Amazing Spider-Man 3InA movie that existed in Sony's plans until Marvel came along... and convinced them to let Spider-Man go with them.
The movie The Amazing Spider-Man 3
El Spider-Man first feature film premiered in 1977, a production that surely few have heard of, let alone seen. The first major reference to the hero on the big screen would not come until the premiere of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. That's when the character got the representation he deserved.
From that film came many others, but not in all spiderman movies we could see the same actor playing him. Along with the popular Tom Holland, current Spider-Man, there was also Andrew Garfield.
This was responsible for giving it life in two films that did not work as Sony expected -that is true and indisputable if you look at the box office results-, but they were not bad at all. Of course, the most striking thing is that there could have been a third installment. What's more, it was in Sony's plans.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3 It was going to be the closing of the trilogy they had planned with Garfield as Spider-Man. This has been known through the pages of a book signed by Paul Terry and Tara Bennet. According to what they say, it was Kevin Feige who managed to convince Sony not to go ahead with the film and allow the character to be brought to UCM.
At that time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was beginning to take off with what would be the first Avengers movie, so there seemed to be a lot of interest in having Spider-Man's diremos to be able to introduce the character into it.
The negotiation was not easy, but both Feige and Marvel Studios drew up a plan where the superhero would appear in several films, some as a solo protagonist and in others as a "guest star". I'm sure you know those films, on the one hand it would be his own trilogy (which will close on December 17, as we mentioned before, with the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home and then Captain America: Civil War, Avengers Infinity War y Avengers: Endgame.
What we lost with The Amazing Spider-Man 3
The collateral damage that canceling meant The Amazing Spider-Man 3 It was staying without seeing what the appearance of the six sinisters would be like. And it is that according to Dane DeHaan, actor who gave life to Harry Osborn (Green Goblin) in the second part, said that in the third film the six sinisters would make an appearance.
If you do not know who these six sinisters are, we will tell you. It was a group made up of supervillains who decide to join forces in order to end Spider-Man once and for all, although its members have never been the same. Yes, it is true that Dr. Octopus has remained the leader, but some members have been changing.
In the movie of The Amazing Spider-Man 3 It is not known exactly which would have been and which would not have been of those Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Electro, Mystery, Sandman and Kraven the Hunter who originally gave life to the group, but the Green Goblin would be around. So it would have been interesting if it had been filmed.
However, knowing what Marvel is like, it should not be ruled out that they can make their appearance later. What's more, it would not only be the arrival of these supervillains in the stories of Spider-Man, but also those of other characters such as Venom or Morbius.
