There were many attempts to bring Kraven the Hunter to the big screen, all of which ultimately fell through
Kraven's complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff, starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared.. Sam Raimi wanted him to appear in Spider-Man 4 before it was cancelled, and Kraven's spear appeared in Čudesni Spider-Man 2 (2014) as a tease for his planned appearance in the Sinister Six film that was also cancelled. As for the MCU, Ryan Coogler wanted to include him in Black Panther (2018), taking inspiration from Christopher Priest's Black Panther comic book, but he couldn't secure the rights.
Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: Caillou's Revenge (2022)
Jon Watts wanted Kraven to be the backup villain for Spider-Man: Put bez povratka (2021) in case the multiverse story didn't pan out.. Sergei Kravinoff: [after his father tries to attack him] You don't get to do that to me anymore.. Sony's Spider-Man Universe doesn't go with a bang, but a whimper.
Great cast held back by clunky dull dialogue
"Kraven the Hunter" is clichéd at all times. ATJ tries to make the most of it, yet the script holds it back. Action is a bit fun at times, but it's muddled with much pompous exposition.The movie is kind of fun when Johnson is in action causing bloody chaos but everything else is a drag.
A story that lacks any intrigue
The script is simply bad and a waste of Aaron Taylor Johnson, who I actually enjoyed in the role. Another instance of a villain turned hero. Rhino and Chameleon are wasted as I expected."'Kraven the Hunter" was probably a solid 2004's action movie at one point, but the usual Sony antics are all here.
It is exactly the film you'd expect at this point
Painful ADR, choppy editing, and tons of lifeless CGI animals!Dare I say, this is one of the most soulless modern comicbook movies. The film doesn't understand a single character it tries to adapt to screen and the entire movie often feels created by AI.It is better than "Madame Web" and "Venom: The Last Dance" which isn't saying much, but if this is the end of the Sony Spider-Man-less universe, at least I'm glad it's over.
