Kraven"s Villain Will Break A Tired Spider-Man Spin-Off Trend From All 4 Sony Movies

Summary
  • Kraven the Hunter will bring new life to Sony's Spider-Man Universe with its unique approach and R-rating.
  • Kraven's antagonist offers a fresh dynamic, unlike previous SSU villains who mirrored the main characters.
  • The film's spin on Rhino as a powerful yet temporary rhino-human hybrid sets the stage for an exciting showdown.
Kraven the Hunter will add new life to Sony's Spider-Man Universe by breaking a trend from its first four Marvel films. The first four movies in Sony's Spider-Man Universe have been extremely inconsistent. While the Venom films aren't critical darlings, they performed well at the box office, with both films combining for more than $1 billion. The same can't be said for Morbius and Madame Web. Critics tore both films apart and audiences didn't show up, leading to massive underperformances at the box office.
Sony has two more films debuting in 2024: Venom: The Last Dance and Kraven the Hunter. While Venom 3 looks like more of the same for this franchise, Kraven could be an interesting change of pace for Sony. It's the first R-rated SSU film, filled with plenty of bloody violence that's been missing from the other movies. The Kraven the Hunter trailers also revealed the SSU debut of Rhino, who is a welcome addition to this universe, besides being just another iconic Spider-Man villain.
Related Everything We Know About Sony's Kraven The Hunter Movie Here"s all the details and information known so far for Sony"s upcoming Kraven the Hunter solo film, featuring one of Spider-Man"s deadliest foes.
Kraven The Hunter Features A Villain With Different Abilities Than The Main Character Close One of the many problems with the SSU is its villains. Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage featured Tom Hardy's symbiote fighting Riot and Carnage, and both symbiotes were to some degree just evil versions of Venom in different colors. In Morbius, Michael Morbius fights his brother, Milo, who undergoes the same experiment that gives him similar vampire powers. In Madame Web, Cassandra Webb and Ezekiel Sims both have visions of the future, but Madame Web's Ezekiel Sims uses this for evil purposes, while Cassandra uses her visions for good.
Kraven's villain is unique, as he isn't a character who is almost identical to the main character. While Rhino and Kraven both have super strength, Rhino is more powerful due to his sheer size and armored skin. Kraven does have agility and speed, but it will be hard for him to do damage against Rhino, as punches and bullets seemingly won't do too much. It's a more interesting fight, as Kraven needs to strategize and utilize his hunting abilities, rather than brute strength.
Kraven Puts An Interesting Spin On The Rhino In Marvel Comics, Rhino is a Russian mafia member named Aleksei Sytsevich who undergoes an experiment to gain super strength and an artificial skin covering, giving him a thick hide and sharp horns. His skin is both a gift and a curse, as it's more like a suit he can't take off. In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Paul Giamatti's Alexsei isn't experimented on and is given a giant, robotic rhino suit which he uses during the film's ending.
In Kraven the Hunter, Alexsei is already a powerful man who uses a serum that turns him into a rhino-human hybrid. It transforms his skin into gray rhino-like armor and gives him super strength and durability. The trailers also make it seem like the injection may not be permanent. While the trailer only reveals a small glimpse at Rhino, his design looks promising, and it could lead to an exciting fight between him and Kraven that provides a much-needed fresh dynamic for Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
