Goddard, the executive producer and showrunner for the Daredevil television series developed by Marvel Television and broadcast on Netflix in 2015, was confirmed by Marvel in December 2013. Goddard would write and direct a film based on the Sinister Six, according to Sony Pictures, although the project was eventually cancelled. Goddard resigned from showrunning duties on the Daredevil television series in May 2014.
In February 2015, it was revealed that Goddard was in negotiations with Sony to produce the rights to Spider-Man, but that Jon Watts would be the director. Goddard co-wrote and produced an episode of The Defenders, as well as a Goddard executive. Daredevil was the product of a team-up of the Marvel Television superheroes. In August 2017, Netflix first announced it on Netflix.
Goddard produced Andy Weir's debut novel The Martian, initially intending to direct it for the twentieth Century Fox. He left the project when given the opportunity to direct Sinister Six, a now-canceled comic book adaptation based on a team of supervillains. Ridley Scott, the Martian was instead directed by Ridley Scott, and the Martian gained wide critical acclaim. For Best Adapted Screenplay, Goddard received an Academy Award nomination.
Goddard began writing a spec script for the neo-noir thriller film Bad Times at the El Royale in November 2016, which he sold to 20th Century Fox in March 2017, announcing that he would also produce and direct. Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, and Chris Hemsworth appear in the film. The film, which received largely favorable feedback on October 12, 2018, was a box-office flop, grossing $32 million worldwide against a $31.9 million budget.
In December 2013, a film based on the Sinister Six will be released as part of Sony's plans for their own The Amazing Spider-Man shared universe, with Goddard attached to write and possibly direct. In April 2014, Goddard confirmed that he planned to direct the film. The film was expected to have been cancelled by November 2015 when Sony was focusing on its latest Spider-Man revival with Marvel Studios, but producer Amy Pascal said the film was "alive" in December 2018 after Venom's success, and that she was waiting for Goddard to be able to direct it before moving forward with the venture, which is now in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters.
Goddard was rumored to be writing the screenplay for a film adaptation of the book Wraiths Of The Broken Land, with Ridley Scott as the director. He was also contracted to write and produce Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow, a film adaptation of the novel of the same name, by October 2017. He was also announced to be linked to Project Hail Mary in June 2020, based on the same book, with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as the project's director. Also in 2019, his company, Goddard Textiles, signed a multi-year agreement with twentieth Century Fox Television (now 20th television).
