2024's Riskiest Marvel Movie Could Finally Make My Favorite Spider-Man Story a Reality After 47 Years

I've been waiting for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to bring my favorite Spider-Man story to live action for a while now, and Kraven the Hunter could lead to this happening. I enjoyed the Venom films from Sony's Spider-Man universe, although I wouldn't call any of them great films. However, Lady Teia and Morbius They weren’t even at that level.. The films were riddled with problems, from the story to the main characters not being interesting enough, to poor villains, to ADR issues and more. Sony's Spider-Man Universe films could have been better.

These problems have translated into box office disappointment, and so Sony's Spider-Man universe will soon end, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson Kraven the Hunter being his final film. I'm not going to lie. Things aren't looking too good for SSU's final film either, with box office projections falling for its debut. However, I still believe that even if it isn't a financial success, Taylor-Johnson's performance as the Spider-Man villain could be good enough to justify a trip across the multiverse to the MCU. While Spider-Man 4the story is resolved, Kraven the Hunter could lead to my favorite Spider-Man tale coming later.

Kraven the Hunter's Success Could Lead to My Favorite Spider-Man Story

The film's director and star have a plan in mind

Talking to Collider, Kraven the Hunter director JC Chandor has revealed that he and star Aaron Taylor-Johnson want to tell my favorite Spider-Man story in live-action if the SSU film is a success. According to Chandor, he and Taylor-Johnson faced Kraven the Hunter as an epic origin story for the character, but not the end point of his journey. He describes it as the “construction of a villain.” After taking Kraven on a wild ride in his solo film, Chandor believes that Marvel Comics' “Kraven's Last Hunt” would be the perfect ending to his journey. Check out the full quote below:

“As crazy as it seemed, and there were a lot of challenges, there was an opportunity to structure it as a classic origin story, but not a hero story, or a classic superhero story. part of it, for Aaron and me, was in Kraven's Last Huntthat if this works and is a success, that's where this story would end. It's obviously very tragic and sad. The journey to get there is a crazy and really fun journey, but the character we're trying to create is one that could realistically, if this movie is a success, end up with Last Hunt.”

To get there, the director says he and Taylor-Johnson were trying to create a version of the Spider-Man villain that could realistically fit into “Kraven's Last Hunt.” Of course, Chandor notes that Kraven the Hunter it would have to be successful for this story to be adapted into live action. To be honest, I don't see Kraven the Hunter managing to explode at the box office or even make a profit, in fact. However, I think there is a chance that get “Kraven's Last Hunt” with Taylor-Johnson across the multiverse for a Spider-Man movie if his performance in Kraven is well received.

Marvel Comics' Kraven's Last Hunt Explained

Spider-Man's story is quite dark

There have been many exciting stories for Marvel's most popular character. While I love many of them, “Kraven's Last Hunt” left a mark when I first read it, and the emotional impact of this story, coupled with its brutal nature, would make an excellent, dark street story for Spider-Man. Tom Holland in the MCU. Marvel Comics' “Kraven's Last Hunt,” as its name suggests, focuses on the villain deciding that he will take down Spider-Man once and for all. Kraven wants to succeed in the only hunt he has failed before.

After fighting Spider-Man, Kraven successfully shoots him. He “kills” Spider-Man – who later returns – and buries him. Later, Kraven the Hunter dons the Spider-Man costume and goes out to brutally kill criminals. He also captures Vermin, a villain that Spider-Man needed Captain America's help to take down, with just his bare hands. All this to show that he was superior to Spider-Man. After asserting his superiority, the disillusioned and older Kraven has nothing left to do, so he commits suicide with his rifle. A confession is left for the police, explaining what Kraven did to Spider-Man and how he impersonated him.

How Kraven's Last Hunt Is Perfect for Tom Holland's Spider-Man

The MCU's Spider-Man is on a darker path now

I would love to see an adaptation of “Kraven's Last Hunt” in the MCU with Tom Holland's Spider-Man. In the comics, the story takes place after Spidey abandoned the symbiote suit, so The timing would be right for an adaptation of the Spider-Man 5 storysince Venom left a piece of the symbiote in the MCU that could bond with Peter Parker in Spider-Man 4 or one of the next two Avengers films. I think that Spider-Man: No Way Home It perfectly sets up a more mature next trilogy for Holland's Spider-Man, which dovetails with “Kraven's Last Hunt.”

Peter Parker has been forgotten by the entire world, with his Aunt May dead, leaving him alone and vulnerable to Kraven the Hunter. If Aaron Taylor-Johnson's version of the Spider-Man villain has arrived in the MCUhe could find the wall-crawler and decide to make him the object of his hunt. Peter Parker is older, and so I want to see him be part of more mature stories from now on, and “Kraven's Last Hunt” is the perfect opportunity for that, with a dark and intimate story between two characters. Hopefully, Aaron Taylor-Johnson will impress in Kraven the Hunter.
