Sony’s latest Marvel movie, Kraven The Hunter, is a dismal box office bomb and the studio’s third release in 2024. Evaluating why the film directed by J.C. Chandor and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson failed lines up with the larger problem in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters. Wild departures from the source material, too many characters and weak storytelling have marred these releases since Marvel Studios brought Spider-Man home.Featuring Russell Crowe, R-rated violence and language, Kraven The Hunter is a film that could have succeeded. It certainly didn’t help that it followed 2024’s disappointing Madame Web movie and Venom: The Last Dance. The final chapter in the only Marvel franchise from Sony that worked was released about only six weeks before Kraven. Given the changing landscape around post-pandemic box offices, Sony expected the movie to defy the odds. Obviously, it didn’t. Examining the way Kraven The Hunter failed to land with fans reveals the movie’s problems are very similar to the larger SUMC. While it may seem like a given now, Venom’s success at the box office and with viewers was a surprise. The Spider-Man villain is a popular character, but its two sequels offered diminishing returns for Sony.Diehard fans lost faith in Sony and, in turn, the casual moviegoer (at best) decided to wait for the streaming debut. The studio can make decent Marvel movies, of course. From Spider-Man in 2002 through Across the Spider-Verse, the films featuring a version of the Web-Head do well. Even the much-maligned Amazing Spider-Man 2 has its fans. However, since Spidey is cordoned off in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony can’t even highlight its other characters’ connection to one of cinema’s most popular heroes.
