KRAVEN THE HUNTER Movie In The Works At Sony From THE EQUALIZER 2 Writer Richard Wenk
Fans have been wanting to see Spider-Man go up against Kraven the Hunter on the big screen for many years, but it looks like the relentless Russian villain will be debuting in his own solo adventure first!
According to Collider, Sony Pictures has hired The Equalizer 2 screenwriter Richard Wenk to work on a solo big-screen outing for one of Spider-Man's most popular and formidable foes, Kraven the Hunter.
We first got word that Sony might be thinking about a movie focused on Kraven back when Silver and Black was first announced, but nobody really thought they'd actually get it off the ground. The fact that the studio has taken the step of hiring a writer may indicate that they have confidence that Venom is going to be a hit.
Still, it once again begs the question: is there any point in developing all of these Spider-Man spinoffs when they don't have access to the Wall-Crawler himself? Perhaps a crossover will happen at some point, but for now it all seems very premature.
Maybe Kraven could simply hunt Venom instead?
The project is obviously in its infancy, but we'll update if the trades have anything to add. In the meantime, let us know what you think about the prospect of a Kraven the Hunter movie in the comments down below.
