Like Snyder, I think a lot of Raimi's "great ideas he didn't get to do because the studio was mean to him" comes from his rabid fans moreso than reality. To Raimi's credit, he doesn't actively stoke it, though.

@Spock0Clock - Although, unlike Snyder, Raimi has made good movies, so it's easier to believe with him.

Fan theory or not, it made perfect sense. Oh well I hear there's going to be an Evil Dead game, I'm excited!

Bruce Campbell is amazing and if you have never sat in one of his talks you are missing out.

The studio's response to this at the time:

"Do you know Sam Raimi never sent, like, an email or a phone call saying, 'Hey Bruce, uh, prepping Spider-Man 4, what do you think about Mysterio?' That conversation never happened."

That's because the conversation happened way back during Spider-Man 1.

The concept art clearly suggested it, but people need to keep in mind that concept art often features vague likenesses of casting choices long before any deals are set, whether that’s because it was requested of the artist or the artist is just trying to convey more of the idea of the scene by evoking images of how a certain actor might play things.

So everyone is probably telling the truth here... *someone* suggested Campbell for that role, but things probably never progressed to a point where anyone would talk to him about it (especially since the whole point of storyboard segments is that they’re easy and cheap to cut from a film, so who knows if the Mysterio scene would have even made it to filming?)

@Chewtoy -
The role was always intended as a tiny cameo - and a lot of the cameos that Bruce Campbell did in the Raimi series were done on the fly because he and Raimi were good friends.

He did not really need to send an email or anything months or years in advance to when filming would start to film a single comedic cameo. I'm pretty sure the Bruce Campbell cameo in one of the Raimi films only occured because Bruce happened to be nearby when they were filming and Raimi just called him up and asked if he wanted to do a scene. That's the sort of interactions they had.
