They would usually test the waters by releasing a Marvel made-for-TV movie that was meant to serve as the show’s “pilot.” In the case of Dr. Strange (1978) review, I mentioned how many TV producers and writers in the ‘70s and ‘80s wanted to capitalize on the success of the 1970s Incredible Hulk TV series by making other Marvel live-action TV shows. Back in 1977, Marvel and Columbia Pictures teamed up on a live-action Spidey adventure, but after watching it, I can’t say I’m surprised it took another three decades to make Peter Parker a legitimate movie star.
Spider-Man helped kick off the current era of superhero movie domination back in 2002 when Tobey Maguire put on Spidey’s suit to fight Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, but that wasn’t the first time someone thought it might be a good idea to make a Spider-Man movie.
