After The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out in 2014, Sony was developing The Sinister Six and Venom spin-offs, with Drew Goddard attached to The Sinister Six and Alex Kurtzman attached to Venom.
The studio also pushing The Girl in the Spider’s Web from October 5, 2018 to October 19, 2018.
Alex Kurtzman’s involvement is not terribly surprising, since he was originally set to direct Venom before Sony rebooted Spider-Man alongside Marvel.
The movie will hit theaters October 5, 2018, the same date that Aquaman just vacated hours ago.
