How did Marvel lose the rights to Spider-Man? Why is it so complicated? 

Downey breaks it all down, in simple terms, with a look back at the history of the wall-crawler on the big screen. 

This includes near-misses that would've starred Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, or Leonardo DiCaprio as Peter Parker; Arnold Schwarzenegger as Doc Ock; the time Jake Gyllenhaal nearly replaced Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 2; Sam Raimi's scrapped plans for Spider-Man 4; and more.
