Peter Parker fans must be squirming and furious. Doctor Octopus cheated death by stealing Peter’s body and now has the audacity to seize the role of Spider-Man.

I was very unhappy with Spider-Man 3, and I wanted to make Spider-Man 4 to end on a very high note, the best Spider-Man of them all. But I couldn’t get the script together in time, due to my own failings, and I said to Sony, “I don’t want to make a movie Continue reading Anne Hathaway Would Have Been Black Cat in Spidey 4
