However, Keaton's appearance in Sony's Morbius film indicates a new level of cooperation between the two studios.

In the past, Marvel has had little to do with Sony movies, like Venom, for example. The solo Spider-Man outings are mostly Marvel creatively controlled. Now that Marvel and Sony have a tenuous partnership in the Spider-Man franchise, it remains to be seen how much input Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has in the creation of Sony's Sinister Six film.

The previous attempt could have featured Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Rhino, Electro, Green Goblin, and the Lizard, as all of those characters had been introduced in some form or another in the Garfield Spidey films. They even hired Drew Goddard to direct a Sinister Six feature film. In the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man days, Sony planted a ton of Sinister Six easter eggs throughout The Amazing Spider-Man 2. This isn't the first time Sony's tried to get a Sinister Six assembled. It's long been rumored Morbius may be setting up another Sony attempt at a Sinister Six movie. Another possibility is that he's heard from Marvel Studios about returning to play the character in the Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel. Putting aside the obvious explanation, that Mondo is just having a little fun with his MCU fans, this could be a hint we'll see Scorpion again soon. Gargan could easily pop up for a cameo in Morbius or Venom 2, so maybe that's what Mondo is teasing with this post. The picture features Mando in a black leather jacket in a desert landscape of dunes, nothing about it suggests any connection to his MCU character, aside from the curiously added scorpion emoji. Now, a picture Mando posted to his Twitteraccount, with a scorpion emoji as the posts only caption, teases Scorpion's return to the MCU or, possibly, Sony's Spider-Verse.

Plus, with Keaton set to appear in Morbius, its possible Vulture will act as a criminal version of MCU's Nick Fury, slowly assembling a team to take down Spider-Man. Marketing for both Sony movies has heavily featured c onnections to the MCU. As Sony continues to build its extended Spider-Man universe with Venom 2 and Morbius, it seems increasingly likely dreams of a big screen Sinister Six might soon be a reality. For years fans have speculated and hoped for the MCU introduction of the Sinister Six, a team of Spider-Man's greatest rogues who assemble for the sole purpose of destroying the web-slinger.
