With three villains present in the film, not to mention the rumors of "Better Call Saul" actor Michael Mondo being cast as Cletus Cassidy/Carnage it seems that Marvel Studios may revive Sinister Six in the MCU, Melty reported.
The concept of a "Sinister Six" came from Sony's desire to create spin-offs if "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise along with "Venom" and a direct competition for Warner Bros. produced film "Suicide Squad", which is also a super villain focused movie.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" film credits already teased the formation of the Sinister Six members such as Green Goblin, Kraven the Hunter, Black Cat, Doctor Octopus, Rhino and Vulture. Unfortunately, Sony scrapped their plans for "Sinister Six" since they have announced that Spider-Man will be moving to the Marvel Studios.
