Before Sam Raimi’s Spider-man 4 was ultimately canceled, Sony was reportedly considering Angelina Jolie for a starring role as Vulture’s daughter.
According to Sean O’Connell’s book With Great Power, which documents the Wall Crawler’s many cinematic exploits, Sony was considered the Tomb Raider star to play the daughter of Adrian Toomes aka The Vulture. The script reportedly sees the flying villain eventually die due to the consequences of his actions, prompting Jolie’s unnamed character to don her own set of wings and become Vultress. An original character created specifically for Spider-Man 4, Toomes’ daughter would also have been an “accomplished executive representing a venture capital firm” that was attempting to purchase the Daily Bugle.
