Spider-Man Producer Amy Pascal Still Wants to Make Drew Goddard's SINISTER SIX Movie
It’s been awhile since we’ve had an update on the Sinister Six movie that director Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods, Bad Times at the El Royale) signed on to direct five years ago.
After Sony Pictures teamed up with Marvel for Spider-Man, and they started announcing films for Venom, Morbius, Black Cat, and Silver Sable, I just assumed the Sinister Six Spider-Man villain team-up project was dead. Well, it’s not!
According to producer Amy Pascal, “I’m just waiting for Drew to be ready to direct it. I would do anything with Drew Goddard. I’m just waiting for him to tell me he wants to.”
Goddard talked about working on the film project last October in an interview with THR saying:
It was really fun. I wouldn't have done it had I not thought there was a real opportunity to do something different and exciting and just flat-out bananas. It was very much me and — a much more commercial version of — the Cabin mentality. The punk rock mentality that led to Cabin is very much at the core of Sinister Six. That's a fun one. Who knows, it could see the light of day. It's funny, I've been through a lot of volatility at a lot of different studios. Between MGM and Sony and Fox. At a certain point, you start to realize, "Oh, this is just a volatile business" and you try to stay afloat as the boat rocks back and forth.
Well, it certainly sounds like he’s down to make the movie. While Pascal is waiting for him, he seems to be waiting for Pascal and the studio to figure out what they want to do!
With the direction that Sony Pictures is headed with their Marvel properties, I’d be interested to know how exactly the Sinister Six would be handled. I love Goddard’s film work and I hope that one day he does get a chance to make his Sinister Six movie.
Would you like to see him make a Sinister Six movie one day?
