Is Morbius setting up a Sinister Six movie for Sony's Spider-Man Universe? Director Daniel Espinosa had this to say: 'Well, [Morbius] is recruiting teammates and he has enticed one already. So it sure looks like a start.'
Director Daniel Espinosa teased that he might be setting up a Sinister Six movie after Morbius. The Sinister Six made their first appearance in 1964's Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1, and while they have taken on many different forms over the years, the original villainous group included Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Sandman, and Electro.
The release of the Morbius trailer was filled with MCU Spider-Man Easter eggs and confirmed an appearance from Michael Keaton, who played the Vulture to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Initially, it was unclear if Keaton would be revising his role, but the inclusion of Venom in No Way Home showcased the MCU’s multiverse connection to Sony, so it was easy for fans to assume Keaton was playing a variant of Adrian Toomes.
"Well, he is recruiting teammates and he has enticed one already. So it sure looks like a start." - DE pic.twitter.com/MBcGtHLLdsA Sinister Six movie has long been in development for Sony, and it seems to finally be getting some real traction. While the inclusion of Keaton’s MCU Toomes may result in some complications for other aspects of the MCU and Sony’s Marvel Universe down the line, it does give Morbius his most likely first recruit for the Sinister Six.
Now that Venom and Morbius have a firmly established connection to the MCU and Raimi’s movies, Sony has been given an even wider range of familiar characters to pick from. Although many believed Sony’s long-awaited Sinister Six movie to be dead in the water even with Amy Pascal’s promise that it was still in the works, Espinosa has given fans some new hope.
