A Sinister Six movie seems like the natural end goal for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, but it isn’t the only option. Given Venom has already momentarily joined the MCU (at the end of Venom:

Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home) and Vulture was pulled from the MCU to the SSU (in Morbius’ post-credits scene). Given this light relationship, it’s possible the characters could join the MCU full-time via multiverse trickery.

Alternatively, Madame Web set up Peter Parker as well as the titular Madame Web and three future Spider-People. Given the movie takes place in the early 2000s, the timing is right for any of them to become recurring heroes in the SSU’s “present day.

” The truth is likely that Sony’s remaining 2024 releases (Kraven the Hunter in August and Venom: The Last Dance in October) will determine which direction the franchise will take. With two bombs in a row for the brand, the path forward may change if an upcoming project doesn’t fix the brand’s critical and financial situation.
