Today, Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal has revealed that they do have plans to create many new films based on “new heroes and villains” from Spider-Man’s universe.

Rumors about The Amazing Spider-Man spinoffs have been swirling over the last six months, and Sony is certainly moving full speed ahead with their Spider-Man universe, as they currently have four total Amazing Spider-Man sequels set with release dates. Furthermore, now we’ve found out that they do have plans to use the Sinister Six.

The Wrap reports that while speaking with investors about the future of the studio, Pascal said, “We are going to access Marvel’s full world of Spider-Man characters, so be on the lookout for new heroes and villains.”

While we thought that Amazing Spider-Man 4 would simply be another sequel with Peter Parker (and possibly Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane), it looks like it could be the start of something new. We may be looking at a new hero entirely or simply a bevy of new villains being introduced.

Andrew Garfield, the current Spider-Man, is only contracted to do another three Spider-Man films. We wouldn’t be surprised at all to know that Sony is looking even ahead of him starring as the web crawler.

It’s clear that Sony is looking to do what Marvel has done so successfully: create a universe filled with multiple heroes and villains. While Spider-Man is a Marvel character, the rights belong to Sony, along with all the villains that he encounters in the comics.

We’ll be very interested to find out what Sony’s plans are, as it seems they’re incredibly excited about the potential future of Spider-Man spin-offs.
