Peter Parker's enemies will have movies of their own, as Sony announces plans to expand the 'Spider-Man' franchise.
In an official statement released late Thursday (December 12), Sony announced the development of two new movies that exist within the "Spider-Man" universe: "Venom" and "Sinister Six," both based on some of the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler's deadliest enemies.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'
"This collaboration was born out of
the great experience we and Marc had working with Alex, Bob and Jeff on 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,'" said Arad and Tolmach in a statement. "With more than fifty years' wealth of stories in the comic books to draw upon for inspiration, the Spider-Man universe is truly boundless; in addition, the Spider-Man comics have the greatest rogues gallery of any series, and to have the chance to explore that on film is truly thrilling. That is what Alex, Bob, Jeff, Ed and Drew will do in this unprecedented collaboration, and we're excited about the directions they are taking the character and the world."
Both "Venom" and "Sinister Six" are expected to arrive after "The Amazing Spider-Man 3," currently set for release on June 10, 2016. In their press release, Sony expressed its hopes for Marc Webb to return as director for "Amazing 3," but stopped short of confirming any deals.
