Behind The Scenes Of The Original Spider-Man Trilogy

The Wall Crawler has had a marvelous few franchises over the last few years. We’ve got to watch Tom Holland grow up on screen fighting all types of wars, whether that’s a Civil War or Infinity War. We saw Andrew Garfield take on the Lizard, Electro, and a Rhino that looked an awful lot like Paul Giamatti. Heck we’ve even seen a Spider-Pig voiced by John Mulaney!

With Venom Let There Be Carnage expanding the Sony Pictures Universe Of Marvel Characters, we have high hopes that the Spider-Verse will finally tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With No Way Home swinging into theatres soon, we are excited to see Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman return from the Sam Raimi universe. That’s right, today we will be travelling to a simpler time. An era before Captain America picked up Thor’s hammer, when Doctor Strange was but a name J.Jonah Jameson wanted to give someone else. A trio of films that was filled with characters so memorable that the current slate of Spidey films depend on them.

But why are these characters so special? What work went into the menacing costume that Willem Dafoe dawned? How exactly were Doc Ock’s tentacles produced via puppetry? How exactly did famous movie monsters like King Kong and Frankenstein’s Monster inform Thomas Haden Church on playing the true Uncle Ben killer? Plenty of questions that we will be getting into!

So rub that dirt out of your eyes and get ready for a whole web of knowledge following the history of this movie and how some previous failed attempts at launching the franchise by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, Spontaneous Combustion) and James Cameron (Terminator, Aliens, Avatar) lead to the natural web shooting franchise that we all know and love.

What's your favorite moment from this movie?

[handkeez]

I gotta say, I've watched this trilogy so many times I can still recite most if not all of the dialogues to this day. In my opinion, it's one of the best works in the film industry.

[nilehoruseus]

This is my favorite Superhero trilogy of all time my other one is The Dark Knight Trilogy as well

[TheRealJochen]

Sam raimi was fantastic with spider-man

[deusredeemer]

[amateurproductionz]

The holy trilogy has a beautiful story that sticks to our hearts for decades

[THEEND]

Spider-Man 3 Sandman was a perfect cast.

[chasehedges]

They are soooo underrated. They’re still silly and cheesy and fun.

[iminyourwalls]

Tobey Maguire is the definitive Spider-Man

[hariswani]

I love Spider-Man and the venom part I love all of marvel

[kathrynmoffett]

I love the 1st Spider-Man Movie. I just bought it at a book fair and it’s really good.

[MediaLoverChris]

I would never want an R-rated Spider-Man movie. They are fine as they are.

[kavehteimory]

I don't care what anyone says, spiderman 3 venom is so much better than the new venom movie!🤚🔥

[DarkLordPrime]

We could've had a GOOD Green Goblin costume?! WTF?!

[lmoccgk]

That picture really looks like David Moyes

[justmoody]

Well Still to this day they are the best and most real Spider man movies for a good reason, that is writing in the first 2 and the 3rd if you think about it but yea when the director / writer are forced to do something they don't want it will lead to this.

And this trilogy have something that the new spider man movies or at least the Marvel ones don't have Actions and consequences, which still Home coming and far from home Venom and Venom 2 are just going to the silly route to not care about the movie when you are watching it, like if you say why peter acting doing this there are other affected, the movie goes and say nah it is fine, and people go well it is not a serious movie which annoys me growing up reading the comics seeing spider man struggling in life like a normal person and even more since he have 2 parts the Spider part and the Man part and in first 3 movies are the most faithful to this.

I am almost sure that No way home is going to have the same problems not caring after basically making the multiverse or doing something crazy.

Disney can't have Fox Sports because they already have ESPN

[Machtyn]

Well, I for one, am glad they have *not* made an R-rated Spidey film.

"Willem Dafoe" a real human?.... The Green Goblin: exists
You think "Al Molina" exists?.... Doctor Octopus, yes!!
You really think "Thomas Haden Church" exists?? The Sandman, yes!!!
"Willem", "Al" and "Hayden", have fooled ALL of Call them by their REAL names, Norman, Otto and Flint.
