It's no secret that Sony Pictures is looking to expand their big screen Spider-Man Universe and have already set Cabin in the Woods' Drew Goddard to write and direct the bad guy ensemble, The Sinister Six. Now, we've got our first hint as to exactly which supervillains are likely to be included in the lineup!
As The Sinister Six spins out of the events of this week's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, please be aware the following update contains minor spoilers.
Although The Amazing Spider-Man 2's post-credits are dedicated to teasing 2013's third major Marvel film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, the credits themselves are fully grounded in the Spidey-verse. Sony and Shazam have today revealed a special promotion whereby users can Shazam the end credits song to have a copy of the credits (minus the titles) delivered to their mobile devices. We've done exactly that and captured the six different teaser images that you can inspect below.
From the looks of things, The Sinister Six lineup is likely to include the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Vulture, Kraven the Hunter and Mysterio (or, perhaps, the Chameleon).
You can check out the images in motion yourself by Shazaming the end credits song, "It's On Again," by Alicia Keys (featuring Kendrick Lamar) when you check out The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in theaters Thursday, May 1.
