    Sony is banking on Spider-Man being their Marvel meal ticket. They have announced a trio of huge facts for the Spidey movie future.

    First is that writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Jeff Pinkner will be scripting The Amazing Spider-Man 3 with hopes director Marc Webb will return. It is set for release on June 10, 2016.

    Second and bigger is that Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Ed Solomon are scripting a Venom movie with Kurtzman taking the director’s chair. This should make fans of the villain happy hoping it can erase the memory of Spider-Man 3.

    Third and even bigger is that The Sinister Six are getting their own movie. The great thing about this is that Drew Goddard is writing the script and has the option to direct. He is the writer and show runner on the Daredevil series coming to Netflix and directed the wonderful Cabin in the Woods. He is also close to Joss Whedon so my thinking is that if Whedon is handling Marvel for Disney why not pick up one of his friends and cohorts to handle the Marvel side at Sony.

    Big things are ahead for Spider-Man and his rogues gallery. Are you entertained?

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is apparently going for the record for Oscar winners and nominees to be in a comic book movie.

    Not content with just Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Sally Field or Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti, director Marc Webb has gone out and cast Oscar winner Chris Cooper to play the devious Norman Osbourn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Osbourn was merely mentioned in the first film and was shown as a shadowy figure on a large television screen inside the Oscorp building.

    This is quite the cast being put together for the sequel and whether or not you were on board with the reboot, this cast has to look very impressive. With Foxx playing Electro and Giamatti possibly playing Rhino it looks like Cooper’s Norman Osbourn and Dane Dehaan’s Harry may be getting set up for some big things in a third movie.

    Once again I will say…..Sinister Six??

    And also this……

  • Paul Giamatti In Talks To Play Rhino In The Amazing Spider-Man 2…..Wait What?

    So The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may have just made up for getting Jamie Foxx to play Electro. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Oscar nominee and all-around short, round ball of awesomeness Paul Giamatti is in talks to play the role of Rhino in the sequel to last year’s reboot The Amazing Spider-Man. Can you say Sinister Six??

    Rhino has been a part of Spider-Man’s rogue gallery since 1966. His origin story is that of Russian thug that wore a suit resembling a rhino that gave him super strength. So don’t worry too much Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti is hopefully on the way to class this joint up.
