10 Insane Rumours For Upcoming Movies
1. It Sets Up The Sinister Six - Morbius
The first trailer for Sony's upcoming superhero film Morbius dropped the bombshell that MCU supervillain Adrian Toomes aka Vulture (Michael Keaton) will make an appearance, clearly in the stead of giving the movie a more direct tie to the MCU Spider-Man movies.
But a shockingly believable plot "leak" suggests this won't merely be a disposable cameo appearance, but in fact a direct attempt to establish the Sinister Six ahead of a future movie.
In addition to Vulture, we'll reportedly also get to see a cameo from Mac Gargan aka Scorpion (Michael Mando), who we first saw in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and the two will escape from San Quentin prison along with Carnage, setting up not only Venom 2 but also the eventual coming together of the Sinister Six.
With a currently untitled Sony Marvel movie pencilled in for an October 8, 2021 release, it's quite possible this is the Sinister Six movie, though given current world events it'll almost certainly get pushed from that date.
Given that a Sinister Six movie has been in the works in various iterations for years, it's about damn time that it finally came to pass. If Sony's Marvel Universe hasn't gotten off to the strongest start, this could be a great way to bolster the IP's credibility with fans.
