Sam Raimi Confirms Bruce Campbell Mysterio Spider-Man 4 Cameo
Sam Raimi finally confirms that one of the plans for Bruce Campbell's Spider-Man 4 cameo was to have his frequent collaborator play Mysterio. Raimi and Campbell have been good friends going back to their high school year in which they made a number of short Super 8 movies together before heading to college at Western Michigan University and partnering for what would be the start of their careers, The Evil Dead.
As the horror franchise came to a close with 1992's Army of Darkness, Campbell and Raimi would primarily reunite for cameos in a variety of the latter's films as well as the TV showsHercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. Following the critical success of Darkman, Raimi would finally get his hands on a proper superhero property with Spider-Man, building a trilogy starring Tobey Maguire in the titular role and bringing Campbell along for the ride with a fun cameo in each film. Despite their critical and commercial successes, Raimi's Spider-Man tenure would come to a close after creative differences between him and the studio regarding plans for Spider-Man 4 and now the filmmaker is sharing one exciting tidbit from what didn't come to be.
