In an interview with Drew Goddard, who was promoting the new movie Project Hail Mary, the director/writer explained to Collider what happened to the Sinister Six movie. “I had a big Spider-Man movie about the Sinister Six go down because of the Sony hack,” Goddard explained. “My office was right on the lot, and I saw the FBI swarm in and the helicopters fly over the studio. I was sad about it, but there was literally nothing I could do to change the course of events. I suppose it was better than if they hadn’t liked the script.”
What Was Happening At Sony With the Sinister Six Movie?
Sony has wanted to make a Sinister Six movie for over a decade now. The company tried to tease it in recent years with Vulture trying to enlist Morbius in the post-credit scene of that movie. However, Sony also teased it in the Andrew Garfield era when the Sinister Six was teased at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Looking back on that two-movie franchise, Lizard showed up in the first film, while Electro, Green Goblin, and Rhino showed up in the second. There was also a post-credit scene from the first Amazing Spider-Man movie that showed a mysterious room that included Doctor Octopus’s arms, among other things. Most fans believed this was scrapped when the MCU showed up and prematurely ended the Garfield Spider-Man franchise.
