Are you a Spiderman fan who's waiting for its next comeback? Since the showing of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this year, news spread that the viewing public still has to wait for four long years to witness another action-packed Spider-Man movie with new characters and plot twists set to be released in 2018. This new date has been announced at Comic Con on July 23 as an update to the previous speculations that Spider-Man3 will be released in 2016.

However, fans need not worry as a spin-off movie, "Sinister Six", will be released in 2016 with Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) in combat with six villains that have first appeared in 1964 in Marvel Comics. The "Sinister Six" will be composed of the Green Goblin/ Harry Osborn (played by the very familiar Dane DeHaan), Doctor Octopus, Electro (Jamie Foxx), Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, Mysterio, and Vulture.

Electro, who is supposed to be declared dead in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will have its retaliation in "Sinister Six". But will he succeed? Other speculations also said that Spider-Man 3 might also cover how "Venom" came into being but it's not really the main focus of the story. Speculations of Felicity Jones as "Black Cat" playing as one of the villains have also circulated.

The list might change and other characters might be added, however, such changes are yet to be announced.

Spider-man 3 is said to be a kind of closure to Peter Parker who lost his girlfriend, Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone) in The Amazing Spider-man 2. If this could be true, then it is designed to appease the frustration of moviegoers who hated the tragic ending in Spider-man 2.
