These are the Prototype VULTURE wings made for SPIDER-MAN 3 described in the write up below! Each has 25 urethane feathers. Fully wearable and functional but each shows some wear from use and storage. The R& D on these was about $50,000.00!



Spider-Man 3

Once the initial run of Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies had already used up Doc Ock and the Goblin in the first two installments, Vulture was understandably floated as an option for 2007’s Spider-Man 3. According to that movie's producer Grant Curtis, director Sam Raimi and his brother and co-writer, Ivan, cooked up a story treatment that would have teamed Vulture up with another classic Spider-fiend, Sandman (who did end up in Spider-Man 3, played by Thomas Haden Church). The idea was to present a kind of villainous duality: “Whereas Sandman is dangerous yet conflicted and misunderstood, the Vulture is dangerous, opportunistic, and cunning,” Curtis wrote in his book, The Spider-Man Chronicles. “Sandman keeps his emotions in check; the Vulture wears his on his wings.”



The pitch: Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man would throw Vulture in jail, leaving the latter to stew in his hatred and cook up a plot for revenge; Sandman would become his cellmate and they’d team up to bust out and wreak havoc; in the end, Spidey would offer a truce to Vulture, who would refuse and die during their big fight, thus “illustrating to Peter the ramifications of a heart hardened by an inability to forgive.” The Vulture character is traditionally portrayed in the comics as an older man, and (according to Curtis) the producers came close to casting Ben Kingsley in the role. The crew even built a model for the character’s wings and did a demonstration in which a stuntman was flown around them at 30 mph. However, the Raimis eventually decided to use Venom in the place of Vulture and Curtis recalls that, on March 15 of 2005, the avian menace was removed from the script.
