Icons Unearthed: Spider-Man - Season 1

Making his journey from comics, to cartoons, to TV, all the way to the hands of Sam Raimi, bringing Spider-man to life posed a major challenge.

The push for action leaves the team scrambling to come up with new ways of doing things; but just when the team is ready to kick off, a tragedy derails their plans.

The pressure is on to deliver a sequel to Spider-Man without a completed script. The clock is ticking on the struggle between CGI and puppets, but will the mayhem derail the train?

Despite his success, Sam Raimi loses his creative freedom as Marvel and Sony's tug of war begins to affect the story; "Spider-Man 3" conquers the box office but loses the fans.

Sony's planned reboot of the Spiderman movie franchise did not pan out as expected. Despite the optimism with a new director and lead actor on board, the road to completion seems to be littered with thorns and obstacles, from financial setbacks to hackers, and other problems are woven into a sticky spider web situation.

Spider-man comes home to Marvel, but it's not clear if Marvel and Sony can get along enough to keep him there; the franchise comes full circle, bringing everyone back together in a time of crisis.
