I’m going to come right out and say it, SPIDER-MAN 6 must include THE SINISTER SIX. There are so many reasons why this will work and be a good move on the Studios behalf. This new trilogy of SPIDEY-MOVIES has the potential to be the biggest comic book movie series of all time. The movie-to-movie build up of SPIDER-MAN’s biggest challenge can become THE LORD THE RINGS of comic book films. With principal photography for SPIDER-MAN 4 on the horizon it’s safe to say the Director and Crew already know where they’re headed with the new cinematic adventures of SPIDER-MAN. Not to say that this article will change their minds, but even they wanted to change the direction of the movie, it might be accurate to say it’s too late. Hopefully these so-called “smarter than us” Hollywood people already thought about this idea, and are executing it in a smarter way because they are smarter than me. I will provide a short list of reasons why THE SINISTER SIX has the ability to be the greatest thing in SPIDEY-CINEMA history.
3 Reasons why THE SINISTER SIX should be the New SPIDER-MAN Trilogy
- Novelty – The most obvious of reasons will be the novelty factor of the sixth movie in the Spider-Man franchise containing The Sinister Six. Think of all the posters and advertisements that will be created incorporating the number six, Spider-Man, and the Villains. A truck load of taglines, catchy phrases, and number six references are on the horizon. Movie posters, banners, character specific ads, and commercials all over the place subliminally making you crave THE VULTURE with their number six marketing campaign.
- Merchandising – The normal Spider-Man merchandising applies, but the “Novelty” factor kicks in. With each movie building to the final epic fight in Spider-Man 6, there will be a good number of villains to stretch throughout the trilogy. This equals waves of merchandise for each movie including Halloween costumes, posters, clothing, action figures, and box sets that are made of villain characters to be released with each movie. An ultimate SINISTER SIX box set can hit toy shelves featuring all six villains with cool paint jobs and sold for $150 even though it’s just the $10 figure repainted. Obviously there is a plethora of other merchandise options and this is just an example.
- Hype/Anticipation – The Lord of Rings and Harry Potter series benefited immensely using this factor. Using multiple movies to tell an interconnected story, which is part of one giant storyline. The audience signed on for one movie but will stay for three or seven if they like wizards. In the case of Spider-Man and The Sinister Six, each movie will introduce the Villains and raise the stacks, building to the final assembling of the team, and Spider-Man’s greatest battle. If you want an example of this Hype/Anticipation factor then look no longer further than THE AVENGERS movie hitting theaters in 2012. We all know you going to see IRON MAN 2, but not for WAR WACHINE. You want to see how the movie brings you closer to THE AVENGERS. The trilogy of The Sinister Six will give Spider-Fans the dream movie they have always wanted.
