After the debacle of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," many plans were dropped and abandoned, leaving some creative players in the dust.

One of those players was Drew Goddard who had been primed to direct a "Sinister Six" spinoff in hopes of building up another Spider-Man cinematic universe akin to Marvel's current exploits.

Yet it was not meant to be, and many wondered whether Goddard would get a chance to continue delving into Spider-Man's world with the new Marvel reboot.

But again, it was not meant to be. Goddard recently spoke to Cinema Blend about why he ultimately did not choose to direct the new movie, and it mainly had to do with his perspective on the character and how it changed from the new direction Marvel was taking with it.

"I've worked with Marvel a lot. The way that Marvel sort of works is they say, 'Hey, do you have an idea for... Here's the movies we're thinking about making...' They sort of tell the world what they're thinking of making, and they sort of put out there, if you have an idea for any of these, come talk to us," Goddard said during an interview with Cinema Blend while promoting Ridley Scott's "The Martian," a film Goddard wrote the screenplay for.

"And I think, with Spider-Man, I didn't really have an idea. Part of that might have just been because I had just written one. I spent a year working on 'Sinister Six,' and I think I was like in a head space where I just didn't... you know, it's very hard to say, 'Ok, now write a new movie.'"

Goddard has worked with Marvel on the "Daredevil" series for Netflix so his relationship with the company is well established. This clearly is not a situation of having spite or disappointment but just a change of direction.

Marvel's new Spider-Man is expected to be a far younger iteration with Tom Holland far younger than either Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield were when they took on the iconic web slinger. This Spider-Man will also not be getting his own origin story, and his first appearance will be in "Captain America: Civil War."

Goddard's other work includes writing credits on "Lost," "Alias," "World War Z," "Robopocalypse" and "The Cabin in the Woods"; his only directing credit is for "Cabin in the Woods."
