Sony's Kraven the Hunter - Page 3

~~AquaParade~~ · 05-26-2021, 06:11 PM

Sony, you dolts.
I was about to say the guy isn't a very good actor but apparently he shows some skill in Nocturnal Animals, so maybe I'll check that out. It's not really the acting I'm truly worried about, but it sounds like they were approaching a lot of more favorable actors for the role.
Adam Driver would have been awesome, though I'd have pursued Javier Bardem.

They'd better make him look way different from Quicksilver...

Well if they're gonna have Keaton in Morbius, this'll open up a lot of questions.

*Coola Yagami* · 05-26-2021, 08:08 PM

I mean.... does anyone really care about Kraven if he's not hunting Spider-Man? Just put him in Venom 3 or something.

~~AquaParade~~ · 05-26-2021, 09:55 PM

Apparently Kraven is also in Spider-Man No Way Home. Pretty reliable source.

I don't know how that movie isn't going to suck. I want it to be great more than anyone but it's going to be a balancing act for sure, and FFH did not inspire confidence.

That's why I feel bringing back the bad guys from the Sony movies works, you don't have to waste time reintroducing them, if Kraven is the sole new villain in this, he'll get most of the character development.

This is an example of a company getting a license and trying to hard to do anything they can with it. Venom was a stretch - was never a fan of that character as a hero, but they pulled off an eyecandy movie with some funny moments in it. Maybe they will do the same with Kraven.

But like Venom, even if they do I won't care too much. These Sony Spider-Verse flicks aren't movies I'd pay to sit in a theater and watch.

You'd think, but at the end of the day, the actor isn't the character. It's why we've all moved on, generally well, with Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle.

True but that's different. This is one actor playing two different roles in the MCU. It'd be like if they brought Jim Norton and Terrence Howard back in some other roll in Like an X-Men movie or something

If Kraven makes it to the MCU via Sony's separate Spider-verse. They could somehow just multi-verse it - like they did in a nod to Fox's Quicksilver in Wandavision.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-09-2022, 12:31 PM

Russel Crowe cast

I rather he play Kraven, but I'm going to give Aaron Taylor Johnson a shot...despite him having never really impressed me in a role.
For all of Sony's movie issues, their casting isn't half bad, so there may be something to him.

Nope, nobody. The only times I've ever seen or heard him so much as even being brought up are in the context of, "Wow, wouldn't a Spider-Man movie where Kraven hunts Spider-Man be great?" Nowhere else, ever.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-22-2022, 02:46 PM

Fred Hechinger cast. Unconfirmed reports indicate he's playing The Chameleon.

So... Kraven the animal lover conservationist?

Why is Sony still trying to milk the Spider-Man universe with stupid villain movies? You'd think after Morbius they'd have learned their lesson. Those Venom movies have been terrible but Venom is super popular so he's gonna make money regardless. But Kraven the good guy and Bad Bunny? Those are surefire flops. How hard is it to put villains into Spider-Man movies?

It's really bafflingly stupid. And they're not even allowed to be villains. All of these "villain movies" will just make them into good guy anti-heroes, thus making any appearances in Spider-Man movies pointless.

This and the stupid "Madame Web" movie need to fail, hard. Harder than Morbius.

Maybe Peter Parker was the real "bad guy" all along?

That's actually not hard to believe in the MCU. Dude seems to be the cause of most of his problems.

Minority opinion or whatever, but I hate what they've done to Peter in the MCU now. Homecoming was a fine foundation, then they had to ruin it with the subsequent movies. They just...didn't care. Unmasked him in his second movie only to then retcon it immediately after, and the 'consequences' being that Peter Parker now

Spoiler:

. Great legacy there!

Maybe they really should just kill him off in the next one as many are predicting. Just shoot that horse, and put it out of its misery. Besides, I'm sure Feige and Sony are itching to get rid of Pete just so they can replace him with Miles anyhow.
