Predicting 15 Comic Book Movies Announced In 2018

14. Sinister Six

A Sinister Six movie was originally in the works over at Sony prior to Spider-Man (Tom Holland) joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and while that version of the film is undeniably dead, it's looking like the MCU may take its own stab at the supervillain supergroup soon enough.

Spider-Man: Homecoming at least hinted at the prospect of the Sinister Six with the introduction of Vulture (Michael Keaton), Shocker (Bokeem Woodbine) and Scorpion (Michael Mando).

It's also entirely possible that Homecoming 2 will add at least a few members of the group, be it Doc Ock, Kraven the Hunter, the Sandman, Mysterio or Electro, with a post-credits scene overtly setting up the team's formation.

Considering that Homecoming 2's mere existence seemingly ensures Spidey will be returning to life in Avengers 4 - unless it turns out to be a sneaky prequel, of course - there's no spoiler risk in also announcing Sinister Six. Plus, who's gonna sniff at having more Michael Keaton in the MCU?
