It is lengthy been rumored Morbius may be setting up one other Sony try at a Sinister Six film. One other risk is that he is heard from Marvel Studios about returning to play the character within the Spider-Man: Far From House sequel.
This is not the primary time Sony’s tried to get a Sinister Six assembled. Within the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man days, Sony planted a ton of Sinister Six easter eggs all through The Superb Spider-Man 2.

If Mondo’s Scorpion publish is a touch at his future function within the MCU/Sony Spider-Man franchise, it is a protected guess he might find yourself going from Spider-Man: Homecoming to Sinister Six shortly.
