Columbia considered several directors for Spider-Man – Roland Emmerich David Fincher and Chris Columbus. However, the job was given to Sam Raimi who showed great passion.
Fincher said at the time: “My impression [of] what Spider-Man could be is very different from what Sam [Raimi] did or what Sam wanted to do. I think the reason he directed that movie was because he wanted to do the Marvel comic superhero. I was never interested in the genesis story.”
He added: “I couldn’t get past a guy getting bit by a red and blue spider. It was just a problem … It was not something that I felt I could do straight-faced. I wanted to start with Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin, and I wanted to kill Gwen Stacy.”
