Rumor Claims Sony Pictures is Still Planning A ‘Sinister Six’ Movie

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast who has witnessed the rise and fall of various superhero franchises, I can’t help but feel a sense of intrigue and anticipation at the prospect of Sony reviving the ‘Sinister Six’ project. The idea of Drew Goddard’s original script unfolding on the big screen, with Andrew Garfield donning the Spidey suit once more, is nothing short of exhilarating.


In spite of encountering obstacles before, Sony Pictures remains determined to bring a ‘Sinister Six’ movie into fruition, an idea that was initially conceived during the time of ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. Previously, Drew Goddard, renowned for his work on ‘Cabin in the Woods’, had penned a script for this grand project.

The narrative would have brought together infamous enemies like Rhino, Green Goblin, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter to confront the version of Spider-Man played by Andrew Garfield. This plot would delve into themes of struggle and rehabilitation.

Andrew Garfield reflected on the project’s potential during a 2021 Collider interview, saying:

Although I’m unsure of the exact proximity, I did have several engaging conversations, and they were truly thrilling. Let me tell you, given my deep affection for Drew… We clicked instantly, as if we had known each other for years.

I found his perspective truly exceptional, filled with unique and quirky ideas that often stray from the norm in creative expression. Those months were quite enjoyable, but unfortunately, things didn’t work out as planned. It would have been fascinating if he had the chance to carry out this project. Perhaps someday, he will get another opportunity; it would have been intriguing indeed.

Although Tom Holland’s portrayal of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now prominent, Sony continues its efforts to build its own Spider-Man universe (SSU), with varying levels of accomplishment. Movies like ‘Venom’ have proven successful, but productions such as ‘Morbius’ and ‘Madame Web’ did not meet the anticipated standards.

It’s possible that movies such as ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ and ‘Kraven the Hunter’, if they don’t succeed financially, might impact the longevity of Sony’s film universe.

Even though these difficulties, industry expert MTTSH asserts that Sony is proceeding with a fresh ‘Sinister Six’ movie. The appearance of Michael Keaton’s Vulture in the controversial post-credits scene of Morbius suggests that Sony may still be exploring the idea of a villain team-up.

Additionally, with Garfield’s return as Spider-Man in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and his upcoming roles in more Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects, there might be a chance to reconsider Avi Arad’s original concept, potentially featuring a revamped lineup of villains.

In this scenario, there’s a possibility that the Sinister Six could leave their imprint on the developing storyline within Sony’s Spider-Man universe at last.
