Michael Jackson’s Wish to Play 1 Major Arc in Spider-Man May Have Started the Ultimate MCU Vs. Ssmu Rivalry

In the early 1990s, Michael Jackson had plans to buy Marvel to play its most famous superhero, Spider-Man, in a film adaptation. He discussed his plans with none other than the creator of the superhero, Stan Lee, who was a friend of Jackson. However, his plans never materialized. According to one rumor, Jackson may have played a role in Sony acquiring the rights to the character from Marvel.
