THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Star Dane DeHaan Details Sony's SINISTER SIX Plans Before Disney Deal

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a box office success, but after director Marc Webb went way over budget, it was still deemed a failure. As a result, Sony Pictures decided to team with Disney to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and plans for the Amazing franchise to continue ended. 

Originally, Sinister Six was going to follow the sequel, with The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4 following shortly after. Drew Goddard was going to direct the spinoff, and actor Dane DeHaan (who played Harry Osborn/Green Goblin) has told Collider what he knows about the now dead project.

"I think it’s pretty obvious they were all setting up for like a Sinister Six kind of situation and there was certainly talk of doing all that before all the Disney, Marvel stuff happened. But I can’t tell you I know specifically what it was gonna be. I just know that there definitely would have been a Sinister Six element to it. And, you know, at least the Goblin, if not Harry Osborn would have been involved."

Harry Osborn was expected to be the leader of the villainous team, though the resurrected Norman was probably going to get involved as well. Team members were never confirmed, but Sandman was expected to show up, as were villains like The Vulture and Doctor Octopus, both of whom would have been enhanced with Oscorp tech rather than getting their own origin stories. 

There have been rumors that Sony still wants a Sinister Six movie, and if that is the case, we can only hope that Marvel Studios is involved in some capacity.

"I can tell you that something related to something may or may not have happened"

What a scoop!

When they finally adapt the Sinister Six it needs to happen in an epic Spider-Man movie (possibly some kind of finale) not as a villain-centric spin-off. They need to build up to it for a while, it needs to be an event-level movie (think about the scale of Avengers Assemble or Dark Knight Rises) and really revolve around the fact that Spider-Man is hopelessly outmatched and really up against it.

The good thing about having a younger Spidey with Tom Holland, and something Kevin Feige, Marvel and Sony have all alluded to in the past, is that they could go beyond the trilogy format and have a more long-running Spider-Man series within the MCU (as long as the studios keep playing ball) which is the perfect way to carefully set up the Sinister Six in a way that really pays off. So I hope it happens, but only if it's done right, which isn't how Sony originally envisioned it when it was designed as an Amazing Spider-Man spin-off.

@AC1 - How perfect would it be if Spider-Man 6 was the Sinister Six movie?!

@MARVELFAN1995 - I'd love that. Hell even a two-parter with Spider-Man 5 and 6 telling one huge story.

@AC1 - I was thinking Spider-man 6 could be called 'Spider-Man: Sinister Six'. Double meaning title.

What a misleading title. He says he knows things, but cant/won’t say.

Nothing we didn’t already know

DeHaan was great in the role in my opinion, and I would've loved him lead a Sinister Six compromised of Rhino, Vulture, Ock and some other guys.

Maybe the Six can still make an appearance as Spider-Man villains in Garfield's universe in the live-action Spider-Verse movie.
