In 1985, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, heads of Cannon Films, bought the rights to make a Spider-Man film. However, they thought Spider-Man was a monster rather than superhero, similar to the Wolf Man. They enlisted The Outer Limits (1963) creator Leslie Stevens to write a script based on their misconstrued notion of the character. Stevens' script involved a scientist subjecting Peter Parker to radiation, transforming him into an eight-armed tarantula-like creature. Stan Lee, disapproving of this version, suggested a different story involving Doc Ock that was similar to the plot of Spider-Man 2 (2004). Tobe Hooper was considered to direct, and the proposed cast was Tom Cruise as Peter Parker, Bob Hoskins as Doc Ock, Stan Lee as J. Jonah Jameson, and either Lauren Bacall or Katharine Hepburn as Aunt May. The project was scrapped after the box office failure of Cannon's Superman IV (1987).
