The amazing spider-man 2 end credits scene sinister six

Warning: There are some minor spoilers ahead. 

Since Sony Pictures announced its plans to expand the Spider-Man universe on screen, we knew “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” would be teasing off some characters and villains from future movies.  

Back in December, we wrote about a scene we spotted in a trailer for the film showing a brief glimpse of some of Spidey’s biggest villains.  

The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it image put a few classic bad guys from Spider-Man’s rogue’s gallery front and center.

Here you’ll spot the Vulture and Doctor Octopus’ famous gear. 

If you see the movie this weekend, stick around through the series of initial credits. If you’re a big Spider-Man fan you’ll be briefly rewarded.  

The credits sequence ever-so-subtly hints at who else will be joining the Sinister Six gang through a series of vague images. 

Alicia Keys released a video for her new single from the film, “It’s On Again.” If you Shazam the song during the credits, you’ll be able to gain access the end-credits sequence. 

The folks over at Comingsoon.net first spotted that you could Shazam the song now, ahead of the film’s release. Here are the images you’ll see.  

This appear's to be the Vulture's wing:

Most recognizable is this nod to the Green Goblin's glider.

Here we see Doctor Octopus' tentacles.

This is where it starts to get tricky. Some think the next three are possible nods to Mysterio or maybe the Chameleon and Kraven the Hunter. However, it makes more sense that one of the final two images alludes to the Rhino. (We'll explain.)

Honestly, the image getting passed around from December gives a better look at what to expect from the future Sinister Six gang. Regardless, it's still causing a lot of excitement. 

The big takeaway here is that since there are about 10 variations of the Sinister Six group in the comics, everyone wants to know which characters will make the cut. 

By process of elimination from what we already know, it’s not too difficult.  

So far we know the Green Goblin (Harry Osborn) will be leading the group.

The Rhino will be next to join the team as he’s introduced in the film briefly. We can almost certainly count on Vulture and Doc Ock being a part of the six, too. That leaves two spots open.

Electro may or may not be back as a member. It’s kind of open ended at the end of the sequel, but anything’s possible in a superhero movie. We should also remember that the Lizard from the first “Amazing Spider-Man” is also out there somewhere. 

When Green Goblin led the team in the comics, there were as many as 12 members in the crew including Electro, Lizard, Vulture, Venom, and Chameleon. Since the release of the end-credits, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, and Mysterio are receiving a lot of buzz.

We'd be pretty upset if Venom wasn't included — especially since there's been talk about the character getting his own film. 

Who do you think is a part of the Sinister Six and does this hold a flame to Marvel's "Avengers" squad?

It seems that even after Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 gave up all of its secrets to fans hungry to know more about the future of the franchise (or its larger movie universe), it still has some surprises left to give. Those who saw the film know that in place of a mid or post-credits teaser for future stories came a scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past - a decision made even more unclear by the seemingly vast array of plot threads left after the film's climax. Now that more details surrounding the film's original post-credits scene have come out, it's obvious Sony cut back on the promises being made.

Fan skepticism was already at a significant level after the first Amazing Spider-Man did little to tell "the untold story" that its trailers and marketing promised. While the sequel featured some of that story in its opening montage, it seemed just as many implied story beats and twists were ignored the second time around. Our editors discussed the missing story surrounding Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper) on a recent episode of the SR Underground Podcast, but really, any movie fan likely found it suspicious that an actor of Cooper's caliber would be called on for a single scene.

As it turns out, the explanation is a simple one: he wasn't. We first heard about the rumors surrounding Norman Osborn's fate back in March, when MoviePilot uncovered photos showing unseen areas of Oscorp's 'Special Projects' bunker. Now that the film has been released, it's easier to make sense of what it apparently reveals.

For starters, here is the original leaked image from set:

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Norman Osborn Vault

What the scene apparently shows is the mysterious Gustav Fiers (Michael Massee) deep in the bowels of Oscorp - a scene that did feature prominently in the closing moments of the film. But the #3 Vault that was never shown onscreen appears to contain a frozen human head. We would assume most viewers to know who is being preserved, but a closer look confirms it to be that of Norman Osborn:

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Norman Osborn HeadDeleted Scene: The fate of Norman Osborn?

According to all sources, the original post-credits scene followed Mr. Fiers as he strolled through Oscorp's secret level - likely the same scene which featured the writhing ball of black liquid some identified as the Venom symbiote - and approached the disembodied, frozen head. With a quiet "wake up, old friend," the scene comes to a close. Given how quickly the nurses attended to Osborn on his deathbed flew into action once he expired, and that Norman's son Harry (Dane DeHaan) found a cure for their disease (with some slight drawbacks), the scene makes sense.

If it all makes sense, then, the question becomes: why did Marc Webb or Sony choose not to include it in the theatrical version of the film? If we had to wager a guess, it is most likely that the scene was cut because it hinted too explicitly at future stories, or because it no longer applied once the plan had changed. It's possible that, like Mary Jane Watson's role in ASM2, it was cut due to an already sizable cast and variety of themes. But with Gustav Fiers famous for helping organize the super-team known as the Sinister Six, does this scene imply Norman Osborn could return with an artificial body?

The film's actual post-credits marketing already revealed five potential villains, so could Osborn be the final entry?

It's obvious that Sony has enough of a challenge on its hands building a movie universe around a single comic book character, so if Osborn's resurrection is more than one sequel away, it would make sense to remove any hint of it to focus on characters and stories that are actually in active development. Still, this scene - now that we know exactly how it would have fit into the finished film - is likely to fuel debate over the existence of  a better version of Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Would a post-credits scene teasing a return of Norman Osborn or even Venom itself have improved your experience with the movie? Or would you rather the studio not hint at a character until they're ready to include them? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Why was there no post credit scene in Amazing Spider
