Sinister Six Members Revealed In The Amazing Spiderman 2 Blu-Ray; Andrew Garfield Excited For Villain-Centric Movie

| By

The Spiderman himself, Andrew Garfield has made a public statement regarding the upcoming villain-centric film 'Sinister Six'. The actor did not reveal any details about the movie, though he seems excited that Drew Goddard is in the director's chair helming the project:

"I know more than I'm allowed to say right now... I can say I'm really excited about Drew Goddard, who's going to be writing and directing The Sinister Six movie. And whether I'm involved in that or not is kind of immaterial."

"I don't know if I should say anything right now. But Drew is really exciting... Hence, me not telling you s- about that.'" (quote via Screen Rant)

Amazing Spider Man 2 director Marc Webb has confirmed that 'Sinister Six' is well on its way into production. Webb being generous also confirmed characters "Kraven The Hunter" and "Mysterio" to appear in the upcoming movie.

The director teased the roles of the 2 villains in the release of The Amazing Spider Man 2 Blu-Ray dvd in a commentary with his team.


The confirmation comes in a scene where Norman Osborne's severed head is resting in a box:

"This is our cryogenic head case for Norman Osborn, so we can bring him back for the sequel."

Ahead of the release of "The Amazing Spider Man 2", Sony announced a 2016 release for "The Amazing Spider Man 3" and "The Amazing Spider Man 4" somewhere around 2018, with "Venom" and "The Sinister Six" also planned to get their own films.

Producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach gave a few details announcing, "We're going to do Sinister Six and Venom". Quoted also saying: "there's going to be a lot of crossover in the movies. So we're just not at 'Spider man 4' because we still have a whole other Spider Man movie and two other movies. So we don't know yet what [Spider man 4] is going to be.

Critics however, aren't too excited about the announcements of "Sinister Six" fearing that introducing too many unfamiliar characters will not gain the audience's interest, making it a villain's movie and reducing the friendly neighborhood hero to cameo roles.

This could prove true, because a report at Ain't It Cool News states that "The Amazing Spider Man 3" might end up being delayed up to 2017. While there's no confirmation of the report yet, it's not that hard to believe. The Amazing Spider Man 2 was estimated to earn $1 billion, but the movie only managed to make $700 million in the box office, which isn't bad, except that the first installment yielded to make $60 million more. It is likely that the rumored release will be delayed after all.

On a good note, Indiewire thinks that the delay is good for Sony's most successful franchise as 2016 is fully loaded with superhero competition, namely: Superman: Dawn of Justice, X-Men: Apocalypse, Captain America 3, Shazam and possibly Doctor Strange. Additionally, Tarzan, King Arthur, How To Train Your Dragon 3, Finding Dory, Planet of The Apes 3 and Independence Day 2.
