Drew Goddard is believed to be in talks to direct Sinister Six - the spin-off project of The Amazing Spider Man.
Last year, Sony Picture revealed that they were looking to expand the Spider Man universe, and Sinister Six is just one of the projects that they have in the pipeline.
According to deadline.com, Goddard has penned the screenplay for the film, and is now in talks to direct the film.
Venom is another of the spin off projects, and Sony have hired five writers to work on both films, as well as the future The Amazing Spider Man films.
The scribes include Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon with Goddard, who will work with 'Amazing Spider-Man' producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, as well as director Marc Webb, on the films.
The movie will be the first film for Goddard since he made his directorial debut with The Cabin In The Woods back in 20102.
No cast has been announced for The Sinister Six, nor has a release date been revealed.
The Amazing Spider Man will be hitting the big screen in May, with a third film already being planned.
