Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) was going to leave Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) and enter into a new relationship with Felicia Hardy, A.K.A. the Black-Cat (Anne Hathaway). However, they were going to be brought into conflict when Peter was going to kill Felicia's father, the sinister super villain known as the Vulture (John Malkovich). The planned script ended with a despondant and regretful Peter losing his powers and discarding his Spider-Man suit in a dark alleyway on a stormy night, ending the franchise on a sour note.
