According to Marvel’s Chairman Emeritus and creator of many of the company’s iconic characters, Stan Lee, Michael Jackson even tried to buy Marvel Comics in the 1990s. Jackson was interested in playing Spider-Man in the film adaptation that eventually went to Toby Maguire.
Lee said that Jackson believed the only way for him to play Spider-Man would be if he bought Marvel and had control over the decision himself. Lee also noted that he thinks Jackson would have fared pretty well as Spider-Man but that the company probably wouldn’t have had the same success under Jackson because he was not the best businessman.
