On the eve of Comic-Con, Sony has announced the release date of their villain-centric Spider-Man spinoff The Sinister Six for November 11, 2016, and are also pushing The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to an unspecified date in 2018.

According to Variety , Sinister Six will be released before The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which was initially slated for a June 10, 2016 release date. The Amazing Spider-Man 4 was originally set for a 2018 release, but that will no longer be the case.

Sony Pictures president Doug Belgrad commented on the Sinister Six date, saying, "With Sinister Six in the hands of writer-director Drew Goddard, we feel extremely confident placing the film on a prime date in 2016."So not only will there be a Sinister Six film before the third Andrew Garfield Spidey film hits, but presumably still the Venom solo film from writer/director Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek Into Darkness).Keep your eyes on IGN for further Spidey-centric announcements during Comic-Con!
