Spider-Man's worst enemies are about to team up in the upcoming Sinister Six. Drew Goddard has been tasked to direct the film and has already started planning for the characters. Gog said to be playing the villain, while Spider-Man might be part of the team.
The team will be comprised of Doc Ock, Vulture, Sandman, Mysterio, Black Cat, and the supposed hero himself, Spider-Man. Plans for the film have been started and Sony is said to be considering several actors for the roles.
Sony emails were reportedly leaked and contained what seems to be a conversation indicating their plans for Sinister Six. According to reports, it seems like Doctor Ock and Spidey's characters and their story will be greatly emphasized in the film.
"The partnership between Spidey and Doc Ock was something O'Connor suggested should have greater emphasis, comparing and contrasting Otto Octavious' story arc to that of Michael Corleone in The Godfather trilogy: I think Michael Corleone is the greatest birth of villain/ protagonist as villain...not sure it exactly analagous to Ock but I like the idea of Ock as a character you are totally rooting for even though he is doing bad things...and obviously the transformation from innocence to experience.
Also both characters are essentially motivated by family. Second I was thinking about the iconic rivalry btw Ock and Spidey and I think it would be great if after Spidey helps Ock, And you really feel they are friends and want them to be on the same side Ock has to do something that makes Spidey and the audience realize that they will never be able to be on the same side again...b/c the birth of Doc Ock story is only complete if you end it with the establishment of the iconic Spidey rivalry," the email suggested.
For the role of Doctor Ock, Sony is reportedly eyeing on Matthew McConaughey, Sean Penn, Denzell Washington, Colin Firth, Will Smith, George Clooney and Daniel Craig.
Sony is also looking at getting Sandman as the character that they will be getting the comedy from, and they strongly consider Tom Hardy for the role. But aside from Hardy, they are also looking into getting Woody Harrelson, Channing Tatum, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Chris O'Dowd, Michael Peña, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride for it.
Meanwhile, Sinister Six's villain might be the reptile-like alien monster, Gog. "Gog is tough because then you're into a giant humanoid creature from another dimension. Feige has had success with the cosmic side of things but it's a tricky line to walk, the s***ty fantastic four movies' treatment of the silver surfer and galactus are the cautionary tale Doc Ock could always just be trying to get his hands on weapons tech that masks a true, more nefarious mission that could involve springing gog. And maybe the six have a puppet master that is a twist reveal like Redford in Cap 2″
Pertaining to the movie's plot, nothing is officially clear yet, although it might reportedly involve the Pandora's box. The Sinister Six will also fight against dinosaurs, and the scene will be taking place in the Savage land.
Since fans only have a year and a couple of months left before Sinister Six gets released, more details about the movie are hoped to be revealed soon. The Sinister Six is slated for release in November 11, 2016.
