Fun fact: Hugh Jackman almost made a cameo in Spider-Man 2 as The Wolverine. The brainchild behind this was Kevin Feige, however, Sony and 20th Century Fox could never come to terms on an agreement.

I love Spider-Man 1 & 2, but like all superhero films before the MCU, I felt like they were missing something. One of the many great things about Spider-Man is he’s not the only hero in the world, not even in his own city. It’s something about watching these films knowing where they came from, and understanding they’re part of a bigger universe. Watching Spider-Man 1, 2, the early X-Men films, and The Fantastic 4 I remember saying to myself “where the heck are the rest of the heroes in this universe “. I didn’t know the logistics as I do now, but I kept hope alive in my own head that they’d share the universe and screen together someday.
