‘Sinister Six’ Cast Rumors: Ryan Gosling As Spider Man? Hollywood’s Coveted Actor Offered A Role In Super Villain Film But Allegedly Considered For Reboot!

The Sony leaks has resulted in numerous rumors, and one of the studio's main properties is Spider Man. The next movie from the franchise was supposed to feature the super villain group "Sinister Six" and it even had plans to cast Ryan Gosling.

The "Sinister Six" movie was supposed to be an innovation by Sony but it was upstaged by Warner's "Suicide Squad." The latter has recently made waves with its auspicious casting choices led by Academy Award winner for Best Actor in a Supporting Role Jared Leto as the iconic villain Joker.

Now Sinister Six has to amplify its star power but will they be able to acquire the "Drive" lead star? Gosling is one of Hollywood's most coveted actors but he has yet to agree on any comic book movie role which has gained the ire of the fans.

Comic Book Movie gives the rundown: "The latest "Sony Hack" details to find their way online pertain to Ryan Gosling, the beloved (and notoriously picky) actor who is apparently very keen to work with the studio after meeting with Amy Pascal." Pascal was known to be adamant in her support for lead stars that she cast-an example of which is Andrew Garfield as Spider Man.

CBM speculates: "Gosling was also considered for Doctor Strange and Suicide Squad, so it's hard to imagine him saying yes, but could Sony want him as their new Spider-Man? It's unlikely we'll ever find out or he'll agree to the project unfortunately..."

There were rumors that Sony was planning to reboot the franchise yet again after the underwhelming performance of "The Amazing Spider Man 2." "Sinister Six" took the place of "The Amazing Spider Man 3" from the timeline presumably to allow Sony to pursue a new direction. Despite a reported 2016 release date, Sony has been scarce on updates for Sinister Six leading to speculation that the project may not push through. With the recent controversy with the studio, the resolution on these issues may be further delayed.
