Spider-Man 4's 'Vulture vs Spider-Man' fight sequence revealed by animatics

The first three Spider-Man movies starring Tobey Maguire, popularly known as the Spider-Man trilogy was directed by Sam Raimi and the fourth instalment was scrapped more than a decade ago. Recently, the art director and illustrator of the Spider-Man films, David E Duncan, shared a concept video, which showed a battle between Vulture and Spider-Man. The scene featured an intense fight sequence between the two and was supposed to be the climax scene in Spider-Man 4, had it not been cancelled. 

Spider-Man 4's Vulture vs Spider-Man scene revealed by animatics 

According to a report by Den of Geek, a new video posted by Sam Raimi, the director of the Spider-Man trilogy, reveals the battle with Vulture from Spider-Man 4. While there was a showdown between the superhero and the villain in Spider-Man: Homecoming, it might be majorly different from what Sam had in mind, before his film was cancelled ahead of a fourth installment. The animatics in the video were enhanced by pieces of the score from Raimi's previous Spider-Man films, as well as sound effects for the more dramatic moments of the battle. 

The video also revealed that Vulture was much more powerful than Spider-Man, as the battle left the superhero pretty badly injured and broken atop a building, pulling out knives from his body as Vulture escaped. The scene also showed Vulture taking off Spider-Man's mask and recognizing Peter Parker, before fleeing. There are also some interesting point-of-view shots that show Mary Jane watching the battle, yelling in terror as Peter is injured, but also when the Vulture appears to be falling off the skyscraper.
