Kraven the Hunter director J.C. Chandor is gearing up to release his film, but he is asking for something important from fans – a fresh start. He wants people to approach his movie without any preconceived notions based on the disappointing track record of Sony’s Spider-Man universe in recent years.
In the past six years, Sony has released several Spider-Man universe films, including three Venom movies, a Morbius movie, and a Madame Web film. However, these movies have not been well-received, with none of them scoring above 49 on Metacritic. Chandor acknowledges that fans have been upset with certain decisions and outcomes in these films, and he is hoping that audiences will give Kraven the Hunter a fair chance without comparing it to its predecessors.
Chandor has made it clear that Kraven the Hunter is a standalone film, separate from the rest of the Sony Spider-Man Cinematic Universe. This is good news for comic book fans who are tired of interconnected movie universes. The film’s star, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, has even compared the action in Kraven the Hunter to that of Bond films, indicating a departure from the tone of previous Sony Spider-Man movies.
When Kraven the Hunter is released in theaters on December 13, it will be up to the audience to decide if Chandor’s plea for a fresh start is justified. Will the film stand on its own merits, or will it be another generic superhero movie with some entertaining action scenes? Only time will tell. Fans are encouraged to approach the film with an open mind and judge it based on its own merits.
