The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spoilers: 11 Ways It Sets Up Future Spidey Movies

7. Mr Fiers Is Putting A Team Together

Every good team needs a leader to put them together: the Avengers had Nick Fury, Ocean's 11 had Danny Ocean and Tarantino's Basterds had Aldo Rain - they are the men who recognise the skills of their potential team members and what they will bring to the mix. And more often than not, they then go on to lead their groups into battle, reaping the benefits themselves. Sony's Spider-Man universe has taken a different approach. Having initially suggested that the Man In The Shadows from the first Amazing Spider-Man was going to be the leader of a pre-existing sinister organisation or group (based on the way he uses the loaded "we") the sequel swerved that somewhat by apparently revealing him to be Mr Fiers (and not Mister Fear as we initially suspected) an associate of both Norman and Harry Osborn, known as The Gentleman. You have to wonder what Fiers would get out of working with Harry as a finder for suitable Sinister Six members, but in the novel The Gathering Of The Sinister Six, he has been presented as an investor in chaos, and a rich Machiavellian who puts together the Sinister Six for his own grand scheme to earn more wealth and destroy the world simultaneously. That might fit with his language in the post-credits scene of the first movie, and suggest that he's working with the Machiavellian Club, using the Sinister Six as his pawns, which could well be the foundation for a strong enough spin-off story that wouldn't actually require Spider-Man's presence.
