Drew Goddard will be the director of
Sinister Six, according to
Hollywood Reporter. Sony has been developing the
Spider-Man spin-off, along with
Venom, with a team of writers, including Goddard, working on scripts (see "
Venom, Sinister Six Movies"). It was expected that if the film moved forward, Goddard would direct. He’s also the showrunner on the Netflix
Daredevil series (see "
'Jessica Jones' and 'Daredevil' Get Showrunners").
The plan is to introduce characters for
Sinister Six at the end of
Amazing Spider-Man 2 ("
'Spidey 2' to Set Up 'Sinister Six'"), with
Sinister Six presumably to follow
Amazing Spider-Man 3, which is scheduled for June 10, 2016.
