 Feige was not expected to be creatively involved with these films.However, the "Sinister Six" film was cancelled due to "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" underperforming commercially, and by November 2015, the other prospective spin-off films were cancelled as well.However, Sony has reworked these plans into creating a new film series based on Marvel characters associated with Spider-Man separate from both the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the "Amazing Spider-Man" franchise, starting with the release of the 2018 film "Venom".
