NEW YORK (AP) – The Spider-Man franchise will detour next with a “Sinister Six” spinoff in 2016, pushing “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” to 2018.
Sony’s Columbia Pictures announced its updated schedule for the web-slinger Wednesday. By ordering “Sinister Six” ahead of the next “Spider-Man” movie, the studio hopes to expand the franchise with the group of Marvel super-villains.
“Sinister Six,” to be directed by Drew Goddard, is one of two spinoffs planned for the Spider-Man universe. No date has been set for the other offshoot in development, “Venom.”
Sony had previously pegged “Spider-Man” sequels for 2016 and 2018, but “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” will now be pushed to 2018. In its place, Sony has slotted in “Uncharted,” an action film based on the PlayStation video game.
