Trivia
- Director Sam Raimi stated in a interview with MTV he would like to have The Sinister Six in Spider-Man 4.
- David Koepp turned down the chance to write the script.
- The film's working title is "The Wedding," in honour of the "The Amazing Spider-Man" comic Annual #21: The Wedding!" which was published in 1987.
- Director Sam Raimi is a fan of Morbius the Living Vampire, citing his "combination of superhero + supernatural," (Raimi had started out with horror films.)
- Screenwriter James Vanderbilt was signed on after impressing the studio with his focus on characterization.
- Producer Grant Curtis, director Sam Raimi and actor Dylan Baker expressed interest in making the film's main antagonist the Lizard (Curtis is a fan of the character). The Lizard's alter-ego, Dr Curt Connors (played by Baker), had featured extensively in the previous films; in fact in Spider-Man 3 (2007) he was seen carrying out research on animals, which led to his fateful mutation.
- Sam Raimi expressed interest in filming second unit shots in his home state of Michigan, having considered it for Spider-Man 3 (2007) before opting for the cheaper area of Cleveland, Ohio.
- Bryce Dallas Howard and Thomas Haden Church wanted to return for this film as they felt their characters from Spider-Man 3 (2007) (Howard played Peter Parker's potential girlfriend Gwen Stacy and Church played Spider-Man's enemy the Sandman) still had issues that were left unresolved. Sam Raimi was agreeable about bringing Stacy back, but was less sure about the Sandman.
