It may seem like Sony is losing control of Spider-Man (and they are partially) but one move with their all-star actor could push the brand back to prominence and get them back on track with their attempt at a cinematic universe.

While there is no word yet on what is going on with the Sinister Six, it seems like the film is still going forward with writer/director Drew Goddard attached. But what about Andrew Garfield? Could Spider-Man be joining the pack of super villains? The answer is reportedly a yes.

Earlier this year, The Daily Star came out with a report stating that Garfield was set for two more Spider-Man movies (one in 2015, other in 2016), which keeps true with the other reports that Garfield wouldn't be apart of The Amazing Spider-Man 4 should it happen.

While plans have changed since that news came out, it hasn't completely altered the possible contract, just switched the dates. Now the proposed 2016 date is for Sinister Six with 2015 moving to 2018 for Amazing Spider-Man 3. But that second movie may not happen without success with the first one.

As of now, it seems like all of Sony's future rides on Sinister Six and its ability to bring in the money and not seem like such a dud like the last movie was. If this rumor is true, and Garfield is signed on for the film, this instantly makes it better in the eyes of audience members looking to go see it.

Sony needs to put all their cards into Sinister Six because without its success, there could possibly not be a third Spider-Man movie for Garfield. So instead of making him wait for that, throw him into the Sinister Six movie and go all-in on a possible franchise.

Doing this also allows audiences to see Spider-Man (who wouldn't necessarily be the main focus) outside of the romantic limelight and allow him to show off the superhero fighting skills that we all have wanted to see in these films.

Sinister Six comes out on November 6, 2016.
