After the success of Spider-Man 2, a sequel was immediately greenlit, featuring the Sandman and the Vulture teaming up to take on the friendly neighborhood webhead this time around. But the development of the next Spider-Man would be complicated by the desire for a different villain’s inclusion by Producer Avi Arad over director Sam Raimi’s objections.

Nick and Scott aren’t quite on the same page this time around as FRANCHISOGRAPHY takes on the controversial trilogy capper to the Raimi/Maguire era.
