A Fourth Movie Was Canceled After Raimi Withdrew From The Project

 Disney famously acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019. A major effect of the merger is that almost all of the Marvel characters that have previously existed outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have now reverted back to Marvel Studios - although the preexisting movies do not fall under that umbrella. Marvel has announced plans to reboot many of the franchises that are back under their ownership and integrate them into the MCU, and Disney+ has started rebranding Marvel movies that don't fall under the MCU banner as Marvel Legacy movies. There is a long history of Marvel films that exist outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that are stylistically very different from the MCU, but many of them remain - if not good - then very, very watchable. Here's every Marvel movie that isn't part of the MCU.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002) was the first installment in the trilogy, which also included Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007). James Cameron intended to write and direct the first installment, and one of the only elements from his drafts that remained in the trilogy was Peter Parker's biological ability to shoot webs out of his wrists. Sam Raimi's trilogy has been credited for redefining the modern superhero genre and continued to revitalize Marvel after Blade. A fourth movie was canceled after Raimi withdrew from the project over creative differences, and Marvel has subsequently rebooted the Spider-Man series twice.


Hulk (2003)

Hulk, directed by Ang Lee and starring Eric Bana in the title role, explores the origins of Bruce Banner. Not to be confused with the reboot The Incredible Hulk (2008), which is a part of the MCU, Hulk was critically panned for its overuse of CGI, but has received retrospective praise from critics for its artistic differences from other superhero movies. It has also recently been praised for Ang Lee's thoughtful attempt to deal with Bruce Banner's issues in Hulk instead of being a series of action setpieces, and for being a welcome deviation from typical superhero movies. Hulk had a planned sequel, but Universal Studios didn't meet the deadline for submitting the film and the character rights reverted to Marvel Studios. The Incredible Hulk was then created by Marvel in association with Universal as the second installment in Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even though Edward Norton was replaced by Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and the movie's Hulk design has been reimagined, the events of The Incredible Hulk are still canon to the rest of the MCU.


Man-Thing (2005)

A less popular non-MCU Marvel movie is Man-Thing, a dark suspense monster film based on the tragic character from the comics. The movie is much less action-oriented than most Marvel releases, and the special effects are surprisingly well done. However, it never got enough marketing or word-of-mouth to get remotely close to breaking even at the box office, let alone succeed commercially. Critics put the last nail in Man-Thing's coffin, and both the character and his movie remain quite obscure to mainstream audiences.


Ghost Rider & Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance (2007-2011)

Ghost Rider was released in 2007 to overwhelmingly negative reviews, and starred Nicholas Cage in the title role. Although the film was panned, Ghost Rider was still a box office success, and the sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance was released in 2011 with Cage reprising his role. Marvel initially began development for a Ghost Rider adaptation in 1992, and the Nicholas Cage adaptation was announced in 2003 in a deal with Columbia Pictures. After the critical and commercial failure of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Cage publicly stated that he was done with the franchise and a planned third movie was canceled. Shortly after, the character rights reverted back to Marvel Studios and a different version of the character appeared on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.


The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 (2012-2014)

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) began development after the cancellation of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 and completely rebooted the series. The Amazing Spider-Man premiered to mostly positive reviews, but suffered from undeveloped storylines and a villain that was too surreal and unrealistic. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) was originally envisioned as the beginning of a shared fictional universe that would include films based on Venom and the Sinister Six, but a disappointing box office meant that all subsequent installments were canceled. Marvel rebooted Spider-Man for the third time in Captain America: Civil War (2016) with Tom Holland's first appearance as the character in the MCU.

Like Sam Raimi's trilogy, both The Amazing Spider-Man movies are being incorporated into the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jamie Foxx's return as Max Dillon aka Electro was the first to be confirmed for the MCU Spider-Man sequel. The first full trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home briefly featured a large figure obscured by shadows, which prompted fans to speculate about the return of Rhys Ifan's Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man. With Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Sandman, Electro, and the Lizard expected to form the MCU's multiversal Sinister Six, fans have also theorized that the last remaining member of the team will be Paul Giamatti's Rhino. Naturally, Andrew Garfield's reprisal of Peter Parker is highly anticipated (but not officially confirmed yet) and the return of Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy through the multiverse is still a possibility, despite her demise at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Fantastic Four (2015)

The 2015 reboot Fantastic Four, which is also based on the Marvel superhero team of the same name, was the third and final Fantastic Four film to be produced by 20th Century Fox. Production of the reboot was first announced in 2010 after the disappointment of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and underwent massive reshoots. Fantastic Four had even worse reviews than Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and was critically panned for its screenplay, directing, lack of humor, visuals, pacing, and unfaithfulness to the source material. A planned sequel was canceled, and Marvel Studios acquired the film rights and announced a second reboot of Fantastic Four that would be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On another note, Big Hero 6 and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse are also Marvel movies, but they have no narrative connection to the MCU. Although their animated format suggests the MCU only includes live-action movies, the release of Marvel's What If...? in Phase 4 and its canon connection to the MCU's multiverse refutes that. Instead, Big Hero 6 is a standalone Disney movie inspired by the eponymous team in Marvel comics, and Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the beginning of its own franchise, set within its own version of Marvel's multiverse.
