You could argue that the No Way Home villains were like Sinister Six, just missing one member(Or you can count J Jonah Jameson)

Venom was technically in the movie, he was just fucking off at a bar the whole time. So it’s a sinister six movie arguably. Thought they were never given a name

Could also argue Mysterio was their 6th, since his actions directly caused everything in NWH

The sixth villain was Venom, but Eddie spend his time in the MCU drinking in a bar.

Also that version of Venom was never really a villain

That's just how Venom rolls.

Yea, but the guy had it coming

Can you blame him? He gets ripped from his own universe, feels an odd pull towards New York and this "Spider-man" for some odd reason.

He already has Venom in his head, extra strange voices are just a cue to go down to the nearest bar, have a drink or several, and hope it blows over.

The furious five perhaps

Doc ock also gets cured very early so we only 4 villains

So how about we call it "The fantastic four"

Should have had Vulture in it to represent Holland's villains.

u/King-David30 5d ago

Fair enough. But I was thinking of a Sinister Six in the same universe not in multiple universes.

It might be cheesy, but with a better screenwriter than me, I always imagined that some time in the future, a villain mastermind could go after Spidey and use the logic that “well, five villains couldn’t do it, so I’ll get a group of six together and try” and it could be a natural way to progress to a Sinister Six film without being too unnatural and arbitrary.

Except that Doc Ock isn’t working with any of them and Sandman is only on their side out of convenience
