"Charlie Sheen has revealed that he once pursued the role of Spider-Man in a movie project that never came to fruition. The Anger Management star said during a podcast with Jay Mohr that he pitched the concept to the now-defunct Orion Pictures with the intention of playing Peter Parker.   &amp;quot;I had an office at Orion at the time, and I brought them Spider-Man,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot; I said, &amp;#039;Look, in a couple of years, I&amp;#039;ll be too old to play Peter Parker&amp;#039;. And they said, &amp;#039;Yeah, we&amp;#039;re just thinking that cartoons are not the future, comic books are not the future&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;I said, &amp;#039;But it&amp;#039;s Spider-Man, I&amp;#039;m perfect&amp;#039;. And they were like, &amp;#039;Nah, we&amp;#039;re gonna wait&amp;#039;. I had a guy in my pocket who was going to get them for me. They didn&amp;#039;t know s**t.&amp;quot; Sam Raimi&amp;#039;s Spider-Man was released some years later with Tobey Maguire in the lead role. Marc Webb&amp;#039;s The Amazing Spider-Man recently rebooted the movie series. Sheen&amp;#039;s Anger Management was picked up for 90 episodes by FX earlier this week.
