Kraven the Hunter will soon join Sony’s live-action Spider-Man expanded universe after Tom Hardy fronted three Venom movies, Jared Leto’s Morbius, plus Dakota Johnson starrer Madame Web. The movie arrives after a string of duds in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, attempting to revamp the course of this superhero phase, when almost every film besides the Venom series has failed to deliver. A Most Violent Year and Triple Frontier fame JC Chandor, who has directed the upcoming film, reacted to the negative reception to the Sony Universe of Marvel characters, in hopes that the release of Kraven the Hunter will take away some of the viewers’ disappointment.
“I don’t want to get too into the nitty-gritty of it, but here’s what I would say: for me as a filmmaker, my number one goal, especially, quite frankly, over the last couple of years where you guys are deep in this world ...
some of the fans out there, a lot of the fans, were upset with certain decisions and certain outcomes [of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe],” he told ComicBook. The director added, “Then with other films, they’ve gone on to be tremendous successes. So there’s been there’s been a mixed success rate.
People have got to give us a chance and come out and support this film, and literally try to wash away some of the other stuff that’s happened.” He requested fans to give the movie a chance as it has a ‘damn good story’ to tell. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age of Ultron alum, plays the titular anti-hero Sergei Kravinoff in the film that narrates, “the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be" and it is "set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man.
" Besides him, Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Christopher Abbott, Fred Hechinger and Alessandro Nivola play key roles in the film set to release in the UAE on December 12, 2024. ALSO READ| Will 'Madame Web's poor reviews lead to 'Kraven the Hunter's failure? Here's what we think.
