Rumors of the Sinister Six returning came after the previously canceled film focused on a group of villains seeking revenge against Spider-Man.
Just when we thought the project had been abandoned, Sony Pictures is revving up the world of superhero cinema: Is a Sinister Six movie finally in the works? This idea, which has been floating around the halls of Sony since the mid-2000s, seems to be taking shape again, promising to bring together the villains and characters we’ve seen before in titles like “Venom” and “Morbius.”
The story of this team of villains at Sony began long before the release of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” in 2014. This film was meant to be a meeting of these famous villains on a springboard. Revolving Project.. There was also speculation that Andrew Garfield, who is playing alongside Peter Parker by tricking the resurrected Norman Osborn, might join the team. But, on the inside, things didn’t seem to be going well, and the idea was losing steam.
Transformation and integration of plans in the MCU
Sony’s plans took an unexpected turn with the decision to partner with Marvel Studios, integrating Spider-Man into the MCU with “Captain America: Civil War” in 2016. This move coincides with the originally planned release date of Sinister Sextet. film, left the project in limbo.
But the wheel never stopped turning. When free movies such as “Venom”, “Venom Live”, “Morbius” and “Madame Web”, “Kraven the Hunter” and “Venom 3” were created. The gang of villains is getting stronger. According to famous leaker Daniel Richman, Sony is currently developing the project, although with a different approach, since Spider-Man was not part of these films.
Who is part of the sextet?
The big question remains: Who will be the members of this infamous group? While not yet confirmed, characters like Venom, Morbius, The Vulture, Kraven, Rhino, and Ezekiel are strong candidates. The “Morbius” post-credits scene hinted at the formation of a group of villains, though their motives and alignment remain a mystery.
In the constant evolution of the Spider-Man universe, lesser-known characters can surprise us by joining the team. Known for its shockwaves, the Shocker and the Scorpion with its technologically advanced suit and deadly tail are contenders. These characters, while not as popular as Venom or Morbius, can bring a new and exciting dynamic to the team.
The interesting question is whether Spider-Man will appear in this film and if so, what kind of character will we see? While Tom Holland could be an option, the Andrew Garfield variation seems to fit better in this alternate universe. We cannot rule out the influence of the multiverse or spider-verse in this decision.

The first appearance of the Sinister Six was in 1964 in “The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1”, led by Doctor Octopus. Over the years, the group has gone through many differences in its members and leader, which shows the evolution of the Spider-Man universe in the comics.
The possibility of a Sinister Six movie opens up endless questions and expectations. Will Sony be able to capture the essence of these insidious villains?
