Am I inferring this wrong or are they seriously talking about making a Sinister Six movie as a spinoff from the Amazing Spider-Man series? As in, a movie starring six Spider-Man villains that doesn't feature Spider-Man? That sounds so ridiculous that I feel like I must be interpreting it wrong, but they're talking about building a cinematic universe that spans multiple movies like what Marvel Studios has done and they're referring to The Amazing Spider-Man 3, Venom, and The Sinister Six as three different movies. If the latter two featured Spider-Man wouldn't that just make them The Amazing Spider-Man 4 and 5?
I can understand the thought process behind wanting to make a solo Venom film, even though I think it's a stupid idea, but the idea of having six Spider-Man villains star as a team in their own movie just seems too absurd for words. I have to be inferring this wrong... right?
