I even remember fan teaser with epic as shit music, people running away and it ends with some old fart looking up and there's Carnage towering over some building
It was sick as fuck even if not counting it being a fan made work
Anyone remember the Jim Carrey as Carnage rumors? I swear there were even fan trailers with a shot of a red Venom (from when Eddie/Venom first roars at the camera in the church).
I think there’s a promotion clip from No Way Home that never was said happened in the movie but there’s J. Jonah Jameson said ‘Is that a Dinosaur” maybe that line was Cut
The story I heard was:
Raimi initially wanted to keep it simple and just do the Lizard.
Sony told him they wanted a villain who would show facial expression, like Ock in SM2. With those orders, Raimi decided to replace Lizard with Vulture and Black Cat instead.
Sony thought Vulture wouldn’t sell enough toys, and Black Cat was too similar to Catwoman. Plus, they thought John Malkovich and Anne Hathaway were both too expensive to hire.
Along with the creative differences, Raimi wasn’t happy with the script, and thought he hit a creative block with the franchise, where he didn’t know what to come up with anymore, and they didn’t have good reason to make a fourth one. So he quit and let the studio reboot instead.
Raimi also had been planning to use Lizard since SM2 as well, some concept art exists and he makes a brief cameo in the SM2 game trailer before he was cut entirely, but his Lizard goons show up in the boss arena bonus minigame.
The Lizard ended up being used in the Spider-Man 3 tie-in game with Kraven hunting him. It’s really interesting how Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had a similar premise with the same villains. Bonus: the PSP version included our favorite Morbin’ man.
I wish we could get one last film, probably an unpopular opinion as it’s been a very long time but it could even be set right after no way home. Give Andrew one as well.
I’m glad we all had the same 2008-2011, makes me not feel like a weirdo who was watching fan made trailers that had way too much headstrong in it thinking it was legit
Man it’s kind of a shame that Spider-Man 4’s villain was going to be Vulture, especially since Spider-Man 2 and 3 were so clearly leading up to Curt becoming Lizard, but at least the tie in games took advantage of that in the Spider-Man 3 tie in game
This was everything to me in late 2009, it's basically my mental image of that portion of the year. Little me was so excited thinking this big, menacing looking Lizard was going to be in 4...
Not gonna lie, before I realized it was the V. Rex from Peter Jackson King Kong, I kind of thought it was the Gorgonopsid from Primeval or both just fused together.
I can't find it now, but I remember an edit that I'm pretty sure used footage from the trilogy that said "New host, same venom" and my friends and I were super hyped because we swore it was real.
the good old days of seeing red-filtered Venom as Carnage
lol brings me back
I even remember fan teaser with epic as shit music, people running away and it ends with some old fart looking up and there's Carnage towering over some building It was sick as fuck even if not counting it being a fan made work
I remember that same exact video! I showed my dad and said it was the official teaser lol
[That’s from the LJN Maximum Carnage game commercial.](https://youtu.be/2K6MNsk9ZBI?si=1YZNdZqQWGvGbYvV) So not “fan made”.
The more you know
Or the Licker from RE
With a Jim Carrey fancast
A genuinely hard design for carnage still
fan edits that go ridiculously hard
TBH, the fact that Dylan Baker’s Curt Connors never became The Lizard is a shame.
Get it done, or I'm failing you.
They should give him the opportunity in BTSV like WB did with Billy Dee Williams Two-Face in LEGO Batman Movie.
Great now I have another thing on my Marvel wish list…
After Eminem's Tobey we are getting Spider-Man 4, trust me bro
Excellent work today Dylan, keep it up!
Thankfully, he actually did in the Spider-Man 3 tie in game
Fr,Dylan baker was down to do the film too

You're not alone, it was always recycled SM3 footage and/or Resident Evil Lickers mixed in with Jim Carrey footage from the movie "The Number 23"
Wow memory unlocked
Am I the only one who sees that actually working in some way? 😭
Looks like the Vastatosaurus
"Is that a dinosaur?"
I think there’s a promotion clip from No Way Home that never was said happened in the movie but there’s J. Jonah Jameson said ‘Is that a Dinosaur” maybe that line was Cut
Did anyone else used to make these into a horribly stretched and pixelated desktop wallpaper
I still remember that badass raimi scarlet spider suit edit. It went so hard
[This](https://youtu.be/f0TrF6BDafY) should take you back.
The Chris Jericho theme in the background is killing me lol
Omg, this is so 2000s
[What instantly played in my head when I saw this.](https://youtu.be/2KGxJAyaSzQ?si=ooDp_fEmpmjKUiPl)
Had Lizard got a solo spin-off film set in the SSU, this absolutely would be the end credits song.
And I would have that not fitting the screen as my PSP background.
What the heck is this?
I believe that’s the V-Rex from the Peter Jackson King Kong
That’s exactly what it is lol
I remember obsessively checking Google for news on Spider-Man 4. A lot of the fan posters and fake trailers feel like fond memories to me.
Some of 'em were even a little scary to me as a kid 😂
I remember the Scorpion one, I got so hyped, bloody Sony! Why didn’t it happen
I wish this happened so bad

Along with him stealing Carnage's girl in it
Black Cat Ann Hathaway is funny given who she wound up as
And then they went with lizard anyway in TASM.. that would explain the wierd human-like face.

The fuckin V. Rex from King Kong 2005💀
We were so robbed
I’m glad we all had the same 2008-2011, makes me not feel like a weirdo who was watching fan made trailers that had way too much headstrong in it thinking it was legit
I am so upset we never got a live action lizard with a reptilian head
Would’ve been brill
The Peter Jackson Dinosaur but Green and with a venomesque tongue. Magnificent
Man it’s kind of a shame that Spider-Man 4’s villain was going to be Vulture, especially since Spider-Man 2 and 3 were so clearly leading up to Curt becoming Lizard, but at least the tie in games took advantage of that in the Spider-Man 3 tie in game
Forreal! even had the Lizard skeleton in his office in 3 during the phone call scene
Holy fucking shit how have I never seen this?
[Raimi was hinting back then](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/comments/90vlsq/in_spiderman_3_a_reptilian_skeleton_is_shown/)
This photo may have inadvertently caused Spider-Man 4 to be cancelled
ah man this and the fake spiderman 4 trailer with footage from the movie "brothers"

This is an OG meme holy
I miss those days 🥲
Is that from King Kong? The tongue is begging to be ripped out
Dr. Connors. How are you?
I can't find it now, but I remember an edit that I'm pretty sure used footage from the trilogy that said "New host, same venom" and my friends and I were super hyped because we swore it was real.
[This](https://youtu.be/IC1aEGGxRS4) one?
I remember it looking way better and with more realistic text. So yeah, it's probably this one.
I used to think it was real lmao
Was this official or fan made ?
Fan made, the head is a dinosaur from King Kong with a photoshopped tongue.
