‘Kraven the Hunter’ Faces Harsh Reviews and Signals End of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe

The film, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, struggles with poor critical reception, weak box office projections, and the absence of Spider-Man.

Critics have widely panned ‘Kraven the Hunter,’ with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 12% and complaints about its incoherent script, poor CGI, and lack of compelling characters.
The movie is the latest in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which has been criticized for attempting to build a franchise without Spider-Man himself.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s performance as Kraven received mixed reactions, with some praising his physicality but others noting the character lacked depth.
Sony has reportedly shifted focus away from its Spider-Man spinoff universe after multiple box office failures, including ‘Madame Web’ and ‘Morbius.’
The film’s opening weekend is projected to earn $13-15 million domestically, far below its $110 million production budget.
