## Resource

This week we head into the MVM Archives to explore a Marvel Movie That Never Happened but nearly did - James Cameron’s Spider-Man! Back in 1993 Carolco Pictures hired James Cameron to write the screenplay for their upcoming Spider-Man movie! We’ll take you through all the plans that Cameron had for different Spider-Man villains like Electro, Sandman, and Doctor Octopus! We’ll explore the casting choices being discussed, from Leonardo DiCaprio to Arnold Schwarzenegger! We’ll also dig into why the movie never happened, and the complicated legal cases that exploded and resulted in a direct stand-off between Spider-Man and James Bond!
