Raimi Was Sony's 19th Choice For Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man Director
Sam Raimi has revealed that prior to landing the coveted gig directing 2002’s Spider-Man he was Sony’s 19th choice for the job. The first film to earn over $100 million in a single weekend, the original Spider-Man film was applauded for its casting and set the bar for all the superhero films which would follow it. Starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst as Mary-Jane Watson, and Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn (AKA the Green Goblin), the film is still highly regarded as one of the best Marvel films ever made.
