Trivia
- In early January 2010, Sony announced that they canceled their idea of making "Spider-Man 4" with director Sam Raimi and actor Tobey Maguire, who started their work together on Spider-Man (2002), and instead decided to re-boot the Spider-Man franchise with a new crew.
- Before Andrew Garfield was announced for the lead part, Josh Hutcherson, Logan Lerman, Jamie Bell, Michael Angarano, Alden Ehrenreich, Aaron Johnson, and Anton Yelchin were also considered to play the lead role.
- Michael Fassbender was approached by the studio to play the lead villain in this reboot. His Inglourious Basterds (2009) co-star Christoph Waltz was later rumored to be attached to the part.
- Andrew Garfield was announced for the lead role in early July 2010.
- Like Tobey Maguire (the original Spider-Man), Andrew Garfield had starred in a Terry Gilliam film before nabbing the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Maguire appeared in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Garfield appeared in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), both films also featuring Johnny Depp.
- On selecting Andrew Garfield to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man, director Marc Webb said, "Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor's work understand his extraordinary talents. He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."
- Although numerous characters have been named for Spider-Man 4, Wizard has reported that it may come down to less-of-a-reboot for Sony and more along the lines of a "re-do" of the series by placing it firmly in the "Modern Age" (~1980-current) setting up Venom as the main villain. This was listed in two separate issues in 2009 and 2010.
- Mia Wasikowska, Teresa Palmer, Dianna Agron, Imogen Poots, Emma Roberts, Lindsay Lohan, Lily Collins, Ophelia Lovibond, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Georgina Haig, Hilary Duff and Dominique McElligott were considered for the lead female role. Emma Stone was later cast as Gwen Stacy.
- This film marks the first time Dr. Curt Connors becomes The Lizard on film, played by Rhys Ifans. Although the character of Dr. Curt Connors appeared in the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, played by Dylan Baker, the character never became The Lizard in the films despite being hinted strongly too.
- This marks the second time that Martin Sheen and Cliff Robertson have shared a part. They previously played John F. Kennedy in _Kennedy (1983) (TV)_ and PT 109 (1963).
- Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) and Sally Field (Aunt May) share the same birthday.
- The first "Spider-Man" film to not feature Mary Jane Watson. Mary Jane was in the original three films played by Kirsten Dunst.
- Sam Raimi was originally going to direct "Spider-Man 4", with cast members Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane Watson), Rosemary Harris (May Parker), J.K. Simmons (J. Jonah Jameson), Bill Nunn (Joe "Robbie" Robertson), Bryce Dallas Howard (Gwen Stacy), James Cromwell (Captain George Stacy), and Dylan Baker (Dr. Curt Connors) all signed on to reprise their roles. Tobey Maguire would've received the most money out of the returning cast members, making $50 million to do not only a fourth "Spider-Man", but also a fifth. However, when Raimi and Sony had creative problems with how they wanted the story to be told, Raimi quit the project and Maguire left with him. Shortly after, Sony announced that the next "Spider-Man" movie would be a reboot for the franchise.
- Before this was confirmed as a reboot of the "Spider-Man" franchise, Sam Raimi was going to direct a fourth installment to his "Spider-Man" movies. John Malkovich was hired to portray the new main villain Adrian Toomes/the Vulture, while Anne Hathaway was reportedly hired to be Felicia Hardy. It was reported that Felicia Hardy would have deviated from her comic counterpart, as she would have been the Vulture's daughter and she would become the Vulturess rather than the Black Cat. However, Raimi had problems with the script, which is rumored to have included Peter and Mary Jane married and welcoming a baby girl, Spider-Man intentionally murdering the Vulture in the final battle, and the final minutes had Peter throwing his Spider-Man identity in the garbage that would lead into the events of the planned fifth film where Peter again dons the Spider-Man identity. Although Raimi hired Alvin Sargent to re-write the script, he still didn't like the story that was planned and he decided not to make "Spider-Man 4".
