Sony is currently developing a ‘Sinister Six‘ movie, featuring characters from their Spider-Man spin-offs. The production is set to begin after the release of Tom Holland‘s ‘Spider-Man 4.’
It has been reported that Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SPUMC) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are merging in Holland’s ‘Spider-Man 4.’ Currently, SPUMC members include Venom (Tom Hardy), Morbius (Jared Leto), Madame Web (Dakota Johnson), and Kraven the Hunter (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
According to the book ‘MCU: The Reign Of Marvel Studios,’ Sony’s planned ‘Sinister Six’ movie was set to feature Spider-Man riding a T-Rex in Marvel’s Savage Land.
Who are the Sinister Six in Marvel Comics?
The Sinister Six is a group of supervillains in Marvel Comics, often enemies of Spider-Man. It typically consists of six villains, including characters like Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter. The group collaborates to defeat Spider-Man by combining their unique abilities. The Sinister Six first appeared in “The Amazing Spider-Man Annual” #1 in 1964.
‘Spider-Man 4’ will start production in late 2024, with Holland, Zendaya, and director Jon Watts set to return, while Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds won’t be back. The script is penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, known for their work on previous MCU Spider-Man films, and was completed before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Recently, we confirmed that Michael Keaton’s Vulture, who was last seen in the mid-credits scenes of Sony’s ‘Morbius,’ will return in ‘Spider-Man 4’.
Recently, Holland confirmed that the ‘Spider-Man 4’ script is looking good so far, but further details will soon be revealed. Will Miles Morales join Holland’s ‘Spider-Man 4’? There is a possibility of Miles Morales joining Holland’s ‘Spider-Man 4,’ as the film may explore the idea of a multiverse. Holland said, It’s hard to say, but Holland teased “some stuff going on” in the untitled Spider-Man 4 that he’s “excited about.” “Whether or not it’ll come to fruition, who knows?” Holland added, “But right now it’s looking pretty good, and we’ll just have to wait and see.”
In the SPUMC lineup, ‘Madame Web’ is set to release on February 14, 2024 (Watch the trailer), ‘Kraven the Hunter’ on August 30, 2024 (Watch the trailer), and ‘Venom 3‘ on November 8, 2024. Additionally, Sony has an unspecified film, potentially ‘Spider-Man 4,’ scheduled for release on June 27, 2025.
