Even After ‘Kraven the Hunter’ and ‘Madame Web,’ Sony’s Marvel Movies Aren’t Dead (EXCLUSIVE)
"Kraven the Hunter" signifies an end to Sony's spin-off movies of secondary Spider-Man characters. But it is not the end of Sony's Marvel films.
Towards the end of Sony Picture’s newest Marvel movie “ Kraven the Hunter,” the titular anti-hero — played with maximum abdominal musculature by Aaron Taylor-Johnson — experiences a chilling hallucination in which he’s surrounded by a horde of spiders. “Kraven” is projected to take in one of the lowest-ever opening weekends for a Marvel superhero film, making it the third of Sony Pictures ’ unsuccessful attempts to spin-off a secondary Spider-Man character into its own movie franchise, following 2022’s “ Morbius ” with Jared Leto and last February’s “ Madame Web ” with Dakota Johnson. This seems to have had the greatest impact on “Morbius,” which was originally scheduled to premiere in July 2020, well before “No Way Home” and “Doctor Strange 2,” but due to the pandemic wound up opening after them.
