As a long-time Marvel fan, I must say that Kraven the Hunter has caught my attention and piqued my curiosity. Having grown up watching Spider-Man movies, it’s fascinating to see Sony exploring the universe of villains without the web-slinger himself. It’s like a puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit yet, but I can’t help but wonder where it will end up in the grand scheme of things.
Kraven the Hunter follows in the footsteps of Sony’s Marvel universe, focusing on a film centered around one of Spider-Man’s adversaries – but without the web-slinger himself. However, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson hints that these two characters might cross paths in the future.
Sony’s Venom films, including The Last Dance which received poor reviews but still ranked as one of the top-grossing movies in 2024, have seen success. However, their attempts to leverage the Marvel cinematic universe beyond this have struggled. For instance, Madame Web was a major disappointment in 2023, and Morbius initially became a laughing stock before fading out of pop culture conversation.
Primarily, they function as rights holders: It’s more profitable for them to create a movie and earn some revenue, rather than letting another character slip away from Kevin Feige and his team. The details of Sony’s revised deal with Marvel Studios are not publicly disclosed; the previous arrangement fell apart, but they managed to collaborate again under terms that have yet to be revealed.
It’s undeniable that Sony continues to produce films centered around Spider-Man’s villains, but for some unknown reason, Spider-Man himself is absent from these movies (excluding Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s post-credits scene). If Aaron Taylor-Johnson has his wish, the character Kraven the Hunter might delve into this direction in future projects.
Will Kraven the Hunter meet Spider-Man? The audience has to decide
In the movie “Kraven the Hunter,” Spider-Man doesn’t appear, but if fans enjoy the film and express a desire for Kraven to battle another superhero, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is open to reprising his role.
During a pre-release conversation with TopMob, we inquired about his preference among the live-action Spider-Men – Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland – if one had to face off in future battles, whom would he select?

He mentioned, “It’s something I believe the audience should have the opportunity to sense for themselves, don’t you agree?
We’ve crafted this character meticulously, starting from scratch, and we’re absolutely thrilled about how it turned out. We can’t wait to unveil it to everyone!
He’s got his challenges, but he fights in a unique, powerful way. It would be exciting to watch him face off against other well-known superheroes. Give this movie a try; I guarantee you won’t be disappointed, and if the opportunity arises, we might go see it again.
Credit where it’s due, Kraven the Hunter already stands apart from the studio’s predecessors. It boasts practical, brutal action (it has a well-deserved R-rating, going off the first eight minutes), on-location sets, and an earnest desire to be a good action film in its own right, even without the Marvel movie label.
Kraven the Hunter 2 is possible
It’s undecided at this point if Kraven the Hunter will appear in another movie for a confrontation with Spider-Man, similar to The Last Hunt scenario. However, director JC Chandor ensured that the character’s future was hinted at without disrupting the initial audience experience of getting to know him.
To avoid overlooking it, let’s recall Sony’s most noteworthy instance: the conclusion of Morbius, where Vulture was transported to the SSU via the multiversal rift in No Way Home and proposed a partnership to the titular vampire, suggesting they could work together for “some noble purposes.
It’s said that there’s no extra scene after the credits for Kraven the Hunter, but Chandor has ideas about where a follow-up film might be headed.
As a dedicated enthusiast, let me hint at something intriguing: Our movie’s conclusion leaves room for hope that the tale doesn’t end here. In fact, should the chance arise, we’d be thrilled to continue this story and delve deeper into its mysteries.
I desired the movie to feel like our unique creation, while still being a Marvel production and fitting within the broader universe. However, the storyline is crafted in such a way that even if you have no prior knowledge about it, the movie stands independently and thrives within its own self-contained narrative space.
I’m crafting the narrative and building this world with unique characters here, and I believe the ending will leave viewers intrigued about where the story might continue. However, I didn’t intend for it to conform to other stories or fit into existing narratives. Instead, I aim for our film to be self-sufficient and stand independently.
