Drew Goddard is in negotiations to direct Sony’s Spider-Man spin-off “Sinister Six” from his own script.
The studio and Marvel Entertainment first revealed the “Sinister Six” and “Venom” projects in December, including Goddard being attached as a writer with an eye to direct.
Both projects are being produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach as part of Sony’s move to expand the Spider-Man universe by bringing in villains.
The “Sinister Six” supervillains first appeared in 1964 and were drawn from Spider-Man’s list of enemies. Led by Doctor Octopus, they included Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Sandman and The Vulture.
Goddard, who made his feature directorial debut with “The Cabin in the Woods,” is one of five writers — along with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner and Ed Solomon — who will collaborate on overseeing the developing story over several films.
The five writers, along with the two producers and Marc Webb, have formed a “franchise brain trust” to expand the universe for the brand — licensed from Marvel — and to develop a continuous tone and thread throughout the films.
Webb directed 2012′s franchise reboot “The Amazing Spider-Man” and the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Kurtzman, Orci and Pinkner wrote the screenplay for the latter, which Arad and Tolmach produced.
Kurtzman, Orci and Pinkner are writing the screenplay for “The Amazing Spider-Man 3,” with Webb directing. That film will go into production next fall for release on June 10, 2016.
“The Amazing Spider-Man 4″ has already been dated for May 4, 2018. “Venom” and “Sinister Six” have not been dated.
Goddard is repped by UTA.
I have no problems with this plan on one condition.
They can't leave Spidey out of any of these altogether.
ASM 1-4 should be like 70 percent Spiderman / 30 percent Villains
Venom should still have Parker/Spiderman in it, just with the focus shifted. More like 70% Venom, 30 Spiderman.
But by Sinister Six they should have the villains established and it should be predominantly a Spiderman movie. No less than 60/40 anyway, especially since it will seemingly all lead to that being the last movie.
