As for the Spider-Man series, Spider-Man: No Way Home premieres on December 17. "So I think was probably the kick in the ass that I needed to just go make my own stuff," he said.Ĭameron is now busy making his Avatar sequels, the first of which premieres in 2022. At the time-Cameron tried to make this Spider-Man movie between Terminator 2 (1991) and Titanic (1997)-comic book films were not as popular or lucrative as they are today.Ĭameron went on to say that he learned from his failed attempts to make a Spider-Man film that it's smarter to work on his own creations instead of another company's IP. Cameron said he tried to convince former Fox president Peter Chernin to make a deal to buy the Spider-Man rights, saying it could be a lucrative business deal in the end, but it never worked out.
I think it would have been a fun film to make."Ĭameron never ended up making a Spider-Man movie, due to a variety of business and rights issues. I wanted to ground it in reality and ground it in universal human experience. He turns into this kid with these powers and he has this fantasy of being Spider-Man, and he makes this suit and it's terrible, and then he has to improve the suit, and his big problem is the damn suit. Or Superman and the Daily Planet and all that sort of thing, where it always felt very kind of metaphorical and fairytale-like. "So you're in a real world, you're not in some mythical Gotham City. "Superheroes in general always came off as kind of fanciful to me, and I wanted to do something that would have been more in the vein of Terminator and Aliens, that you buy into the reality right away," he said.
Oscar-winning director James Cameron has shed new light on his attempt to make a Spider-Man film, calling it the "greatest movie I never made." Speaking to Screen Crush, Cameron said his idea for a Spider-Man movie would have had a "gritty reality to it." He said his Spidey film would have been closer in resemblance to his movies Terminator and Aliens.
