That Drew Goddard is so hot right now. The writer-director has slowly built a great resume leading up to what might be a huge payoff—a crack at a huge villain piece for Sony.

Goddard is currently in negotiations to helm the SINISTER SIX spin-off. This would be a nice set up for Goddard whose only previous effort was 2012s CABIN IN THE WOODS. Goddard did pen the script for SINISTER SIX, and it looks like that might have been impressive enough for them to bring him on as director.

The original villainous team consisted of Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, Sandman and The Vulture. Venom will also receive his own spin-off film, which Goddard has been working on. Alex Kurtzman (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, PEOPLE LIKE US) will direct on that one.

Goddard is all up in the comic movie game. Don’t think I forgot for a second that he was writing the DAREDEVIL series for Netflix.

I’m ready to see what the guy has instore for us. He’s got his name attached to some pretty cool projects, and here’s hoping that they turn out well.
