New ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Photos Include Sinister Six Tease
Okay, now they’re just screwing with us. For months, directorMarc Webbhas been teasing fans about what’s going to happen inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2via his Twitter feed. Then he broughtsome very cool footageto Comic-Con andhinted at other heroesjoining Spider-Man and maybe even the formation of the Sinister Six, a super-team of Spider-Man’s greatest foes.
Thefirst of three Spider-sequelsdoesn’t hit theaters until May 2014 but a few new photos have surfaced online. Most are things we’ve seen before but one of feels like Sony is trolling some fans. You’ll see what we mean below.
Thanks toComing Soonfor the images.
Most of the images are pretty recognizable – Paul Giamatti as Rhino, Jamie Foxx in a hood as Electro, Dane DeHaan grabbing the camera as Harry Osborn, Stan Lee shooting his cameo and a cool behind the scenes image.
But it’s that’s last photo that raises the questions. That’s producer Avi Arad sitting under a sign that says “Sinister 6.” There are two likely scenarios here. The first is that it’s just a coincidence. That some building has those words on it (for one reason or another — could that be a stage where the filmSinisterwas shot, for example?) and Arad and the photographer staged the photo. If that’s not the case, it’s a photoshop, which would be even funnier.
Either way, it’s an official acknowledgement by the Spider-Man film makers that yes, we know putting Electro, Rhino and Harry Osborn into one movie begins to hint at something that might come in a future Spider-Man movie. And that’s something.
