The original pitch for the Spider-Man 3 eschewed Scarlet Spider, with Vulture instead as the main antagonist, while Sandman would be the secondary villain as in the final cut. In the opening of the film, Spider-Man would respond to a police report of a robbery by new villain the Vulture and would've foiled him and thrown him in jail, leaving Toomes to develop an intense hatred towards him. Sharing a cell with Flint Marko, who'd also gained superpowers involving sand-physiology and morphing, Toomes would talk Marko into joining him in quest for vengeance against the wallcrawler and would enact a prison break, corralling other escaped convicts to start riots and mass looting to draw Spider-Man out and to wear him out trying to stop and quell them.
