According to the Los Angeles Times, the Hurt Locker director was initially sounded out to make the latest Marvel webslinger film but snubbed the studio's offer.
The job eventually went to (500) Days Of Summer's Marc Webb.
Bigelow, who became the first woman to pick up a 'Best Director' Academy Award on Sunday, will likely make action project Triple Frontier her next movie.
"[It] takes place in South America in a region called the Triple Frontier, it's where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet. It's a fairly lawless area of America. Potentially a very rich environment for much drama," she told DS of the film last year.
