Spider-Man Spin-Off Sinister Six Movie Gets A Director

THR is reporting that Sony has hired The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard to direct and write the Spider-Man spin-off Sinister Six movie which will focus on the wall-crawlers gallery of villains. Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Ed Solomon as previously reported are also working on another spin-off movie which will focus on Spider-Man's nemesis Venom.

The writers from both movies are working closely with Spider-Man producers Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach and The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb to form a Spidey-Universe similar to what we have seen Marvel Studios due with The Avengers and their Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the comics the original Sinister Six featured the likes of Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, Vulture and Kraven the Hunter. It is unclear if all of these villians will make the cut for the movie version or not.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 is slated to hit theaters in the coming weekes while Kurtzman and Orci are already working on the story for a 3rd Spider-Man movie staring Andrew Garfield and the studio has already greenlite a 4th movie to be released on May 4, 2018.
