Sony's Plans For The Sinister Six Movie......Spider-man was the Sixth Member

Due to WikiLeaks we now have some details about what the Sinister Six Movie was going to be like and it would have been an interesting movie to say the least. The film that was going to be directed by Drew Goddard and originally planned for a November 2016 Release. Drew Goddard had some much faith in this he even jumped over to it from Marvel's Dardevil and i got to be honest here.

First question is who would be in the Sinister Six. Well the 6 members are Doctor Octopus, The Vulture, Sandman, Mysterio, Black Cat AND Spiderman

It would take cue from Brian Micheal Bendis's run on Ultimate Spider-Man and have Spider-Man team up with the bad guys. This is what was said about Peter and Doc Ock's relationship:t

"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."

That had some actors on the table for Doc Ock but the oddest choice of all is..Matt Damon.

I’m really feeling that for a SS movie to work without Spidey in it, we need a movie star in the lead role. (I’m not sure I could convince him to do it, but someone like Matt Damon as [sic] Dock Ock?)

And apparently, Tolmech loved the idea of Mr. Good Will Hunting and “Jason Bourne” as Doc Ock, too. Either that or the “Matthew” he’s talking about is referring to Matthew McConaughey"


Other suggestions for Doc Ock  included Sean Penn, Denzel Washington, Colin Firth and apparently Will Smith, George Clooney and Daniel Craig.


For Felicia Hardy, their choices included Ruth Wilson, Emily Blunt (who Goddard favored), Kerri Russell, Rose Byrne, Emilia Clarke, Elizabeth Olsen.


Sony considered having parts for Idris Elba, Francis McDormand, Byran Cranston, and Jackie Chan. As for the Sandman. Well Woody Harrelson, Channing Tatum (who they also were considering for Venom), Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Chris O’Dowd, Michael Peña, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride. Goddard though really wanted to see Tom Hardy in the role as Sandman. Here is a part of an Email


"I’m gonna write him up a note this weekend. But, off the top of my head, some possible talking points are:
— We’re doing something different
— it’s time to celebrate the bad guys for once. —
We’re inspired by the classic team/mission of movies: Dirty Dozen, Magnificent Seven, Guns of Navarone. We want that spirit, that SWAGGER
— If the Spider-man franchise is the Beatles, then we’re the Sex Pistols
— Flint Marco is gonna steal the show
— The character is pure id
— the anarchic enthusiast of the team. A chance to have FUN while celebrating being bad.
— Tom embodies that anarchy, that triumphant nihilism
— we’ve seen him tap into that spirt before in roles like Bronson, but now we have the chance to crank the volume up to ELEVEN.
— He’s gonna storm through London at the end like God-[frick]ing-zilla. That is not purple prose. He’s going to be AS TALL AS A SKYSCRAPER in the third act of the movie. What does Dr. Strange have? Magic tricks? F*** you, magic tricks
— we’ve got a skyscraper Tom Hardy knocking down buildings!!!!"

That's not even the crazy part of this crazy train. The Proposed Plot to the Film was going to involve Pandora's Box and major scenes taking place in the Savage Land where The Sinister Six fight Dinosaurs. However, there was a issue - is the Savage Land a Marvel or Fox Property.


"I suggest you guys get in a room this morning and go over drews pitch and what is in savage land comics and make sure we are okay and not in a situation where they can find any foot faults. We have known for weeks that drew was setting his story on a tropical island with dinosaurs and time travel portals. We can not be in a vulnerable position in anyway In this story. This is top priority For today I have decided to leave it there but there is far more about this movie that makes it go from werid to what the hell worthy. This could have been the most insane Spider-Man Related Movie ever considered. "

There were also plans tie it into Spider-Man's Black Costume and the whole Venom Saga in...i am not joking 


"LETS TALK THIS IS REALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT MATT [Tolmach] PITCHED ME THIS AM ABOUT VENOM WHICH HE DOESNT THINK IS A MOVIE ON ITS OWN BUT THAT SPIDERMAN ANS SS ARE THE TEAM IN THE NEXT MOVIE HE GOES TO THEM FOR HELP/……MAYBE FIGHTING CARNAGE IR HE WEARS THE BLACK SUIT BUT ALL THE SS GUYS THINK ITS LAME AND HE TAKES IT OFF AND IT FALLS INTO THE WRONG HANDS"

They next considered who would be the main villain. Originally they wanted it to be Carnage but then they settled on another villain - Gog. Gog is an Alien Monster that lives in the Savage Lands, so they decided that Gog would be the main threat of the movie. But that's not all the info. There is still one thing i need to talk about. 

Many of the Sony Execs were worried about using Sinister in the title as it could potentially alienate Sony's Target Kid Audience and they were considering of changing the name for that reason.
