Spider-Man 3 (2007)
>Sony demanded that Gwen Stacy and Venom appear in the movie.
>The movie originally featured Vulture as Sandman's cellmate who wants revenge against Spider-Man for arresting him. Sandman would break him out of prison to help him kill Spider-Man. Ben Kingsley was eyed for the role.
>In early drafts, the symbiote would arrive on Earth in a space shuttle piloted by John Jameson, which would malfunction and nearly crash-land on Manhattan before Spider-Man intervenes, which is why Spider-Man is later given the key to the city.
>In early drafts Gwen Stacy would've been captured by Venom and Sandman, while MJ would be the one to convince Harry to help Peter.
>In early cuts, the symbiote would drain Brock's life force due to prolongued exposure, reducing him to a charred skeleton, and attempt to bond with Peter again before Peter destroys it.
>In early cuts, Sandman would give up fighting upon learning his daughter is in terminal condition and can no longer be cured. Spider-Man would then forgive him and allow him to go and spend her last days by her side.
>Elisha Cuthbert and Scarlett Johansson were approached for Gwen Stacy before Bryce Dallas Howard was cast.
