Sinopse: O filme teria coadjuvantes como Felicia Hardy (Felicity Jones), a Gata Negra, e o vilão Alistair Smythe (B.J. Novak). Além disso, a Oscorp começaria o próprio Sexteto Sinistro. Esse grupo rival do Homem-Aranha de Andrew Garfield teria o Rhino, Doutor Octopus, Abutre e o próprio Duende Verde de Norman Osborn, que voltaria dos mortos. Quem também retornaria para ajudar Peter Parker seria o pai dele, Richard Parker. O Espetacular Homem-Aranha 3 teria o protagonista tendo a ajuda do pai para lidar com o luto pela morte de Gwen Stacy. Nisso, ele descobriria uma fórmula para trazer os mortos de volta. A discussão, então, seria trazer ou não Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) de volta. Em 2018, o diretor Marc Webb confirmou os planos do Sexteto Sinistro, admitindo que Norman seria ressuscitado após a Oscorp guardar a cabeça dele. “Nós congelamos a cabeça dele e iríamos trazê-lo de volta, em que teria esse personagem chamado O Cavalheiro. Nós tínhamos uma noção de como fazer isso, mas estávamos pensando bastante na frente”, admitiu o diretor. O Sexteto Sinistro teria ainda Harry Osborn (DeHaan), o filho do Duende Verde. Se a Sony e a Marvel quiserem, esse futuro pode ainda acontecer. O estúdio, por exemplo, trouxe ao cinema Venom, terá Morbius e ainda conta com o Abutre, que aparece no filme do vampiro de Jared Leto.
