Still, the Multiverse isn\u2019t the only long-awaited storyline that could finally be arriving in the movie because No Way Home might have just revealed<\/span> a live-action Sinister Six<\/span><\/a> storyline that\u2019s been in the works since 2013. Way back when, Drew Goddard was attached to direct a movie that would\u2019ve brought together Rhino, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Kraven, Mysterio, and Green Goblin. <\/span><\/p>\n Despite these plans crashing and burning, the idea might\u2019ve found a new place to call home, with No Way Home already confirming some returning Spidey-villains and hinting at others apparently flexing their muscles from the sidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n And even though the MCU is yet to officially acknowledge that<\/span> Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire<\/span><\/a> are set to reprise their respective roles as Peter Parker from Marc Webb and Sam Raimi\u2019s eras of the wall-crawling hero, the surprise might\u2019ve been spoiled ahead of time thanks to this confirmed who\u2019s who of villains from both iterations.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s technically only Alfred Molina\u2019s Otto \u201cDoc Ock\u201d Octavius that gets his time to shine in the trailer, but look close enough and you\u2019ll see a potential Sinister Six line-up lurking in the shadows. Two of the most obvious additions are Jamie Foxx\u2019s Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man and Willem Dafoe\u2019s Norman Osborn\/Green Goblin from the Raimiverse. As well as one scene where a lightning bolt strikes a car (hello, Electro), a pumpkin bomb rolls toward the camera, accompanied by Dafoe\u2019s cackle from back in the day.<\/span><\/p>\n Sandman & Electro tease! #nowayhome<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/eOqYNiYSAg<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Spider-Man Shots ???? (@SpiderManShots) August 24, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> Given that the Sinister Three doesn\u2019t have the same ring to it, what about the others? Eagle-eyed fans have noted the Electro scene sees his bolt being accompanied by a swirling tornado of what could be sand. It\u2019s definitely plausible that Thomas Haden Church will reprise his role as Sandman and, given he was a rare highlight of the bloated Spider-Man 3, there\u2019s sure to be plenty of support for the idea. Finally, others think they\u2019ve pinpointed the moment Lizard makes his move.<\/span><\/p>\n Lizard ???? pic.twitter.com\/l2WxvfsEiR<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Spider-Man: No Way Home Updates (@spideyupdated) August 24, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> A turning rumour mill has claimed Rhys Ifans will return as Doctor Curt Connors\/Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man. As much as we\u2019d like to see Dylan Baker get to realise his potential of evolving into Lizard from the Raimi days, Ifans makes more sense. <\/span><\/p>\n Alternatively, some have suggested the above blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it moment is Venom for the long-hoped<\/span> crossover between Holland and Hardy<\/span><\/a>, but we\u2019re not buying that the trailer would spoil that bombshell.<\/span><\/p>\n The first No Way Home trailer seems to stick the middle finger to the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, or SPUMC (we\u2019ll never get used to that name). After Spider-Man: Homecoming introduced Michael Keaton\u2019s Vulture, jaws were on the floor when he popped up in the trailer for Daniel Espinosa\u2019s<\/span> Morbius<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At one point, it seemed Sony and Disney were working together to craft a live-action Sinister Six that would consist of Tom Hardy\u2019s Venom, Keaton\u2019s Vulture, Jared Leto\u2019s Morbius, and possible places for the likes of Homecoming\u2019s Michael Mando as Scorpion, Aaron Taylor-Johnson\u2019s upcoming turn as Kraven, and others. The end stinger from Homecoming featured Scorpion saying he knew \u201csome guys\u201d who want to go after Spidey \u2013 suggesting this would form the Sinister Six.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Of course there was no Multiverse then, meaning whatever Watts had planned has presumably changed. Although Mando\u2019s Mac Gargan can still fill that final No Way Home slot, it remains to be seen how Keaton comes into play in Morbius. Paul Giamatti\u2019s name as Rhino has also been thrown around for a possible No Way Home return (from the Andrew Garfield era), meaning the sixth member of the Sinister Six is very much still up for grabs. Still, we doubt<\/span> it\u2019s Mephisto suiting up<\/span><\/a> to join the team of supervillains \u2013 even if he does turn out to be behind the whole thing.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, the fact that Mysterio gets a name drop in the trailer could be the confirmation we need that Jake Gyllenhaal will stick a goldfish bowl on his head once again. Mysterio\u2019s Multiverse story in Far From Home may have been bull, but that doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t a Multiverse version of Quentin Beck out there somewhere. Remembering Gyllenhaal\u2019s fan-favourite status in the MCU, it\u2019s a licence to print money if he comes back \u2013 and it\u2019s not like other Spidey villains (Dock Ock, Green Goblin) aren\u2019t also returning from the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n Basically, the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer did exactly what it was supposed to do, and left us with more questions than answers for the Multiverse, Morbius, and beyond. It\u2019s clear the Sinister Six are coming, but it remains to be seen who these six really are and whether they\u2019ll be sticking around beyond No Way Home. <\/span><\/p>\n We say, why not extend the party and invite everyone along for the Sinister Twelve?
