Director Sam Raimi was actually Sony's 19th choice for the 2002 SpiderMan movie, with the studio looking at several other names before him.
Sam Raimi has revealed that prior to landing the coveted gig directing 2002’s Spider-Man he was Sony’s 19th choice for the job. The first film to earn over $100 million in a single weekend, the original Spider-Man film was applauded for its casting and set the bar for all the superhero films which would follow it.
Raimi, who is perhaps best known as the creator of The Evil Dead franchise, also has several successful television projects under his belt including Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spinoff series Xena: Warrior Princess. Prior to his being selected to helm Sony’s first live-action Spider-Man adaptation, plans for a Spider-Man film had been languishing in development hell since the 1980s.
"My agent, Josh Donen, said, ‘They want to be honest with you. There’s about 18 directors they’d rather have than you on a list. And I said, ‘OK, well, tell them I’m number 19.'" Some of the other names being floated for the job included Tim Burton, Michael Bay, Roland Emmerich, Barry Sonnenfeld, Ang Lee, Chris Columbus, Jan de Bont, and M. Night Shyamalan. Thankfully, however, Raimi was selected and was able to lend his unique visual and comedic style to what would eventually become one of the most seminal works in the emerging genre.
Nowadays, Raimi is set to return to the Marvel movie fold with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Between this latest comic-book outing, and the recent return of Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man: No Way Home, his legacy as one of the founding fathers of the modern superhero film will inevitably continue to dominate the both the box office and the collective attention of the Marvel fandom.
