Columbia Pictures has set its release plans and formalized plans to expand its $4 billion Spider-Man universe.

The next film in the series will be Sinister Six, writer-director Drew Goddard’s bad guy mash-up, which is the first of several planned character and story expansions. That film has been dated for release November 11, 2016, with Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach producing.

Said Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group prexy Doug Belgrad: “With Sinister Six in the hands of writer-director Drew Goddard, we feel extremely confident placing the film on a prime date in 2016.”

Columbia will then release the third installment of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2018.
