While there are some references and connectivity to the MCU Tom Holland franchise, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe doesn’t actually feature Spider-Man; rather, it centers around other supporting characters from Spider-Man comics. Other entries in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe … Continue reading ‘Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’ Will Be Rebooted!!

As far as superhero movies go, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter was a big dud for Sony’s Spider-Man character-based universe.

Kraven the Hunter (2024) Review!!

Synopsis – Russian immigrant Sergei Kravinoff is on a mission to prove that he is the greatest hunter in the world. My Take – I doubt anyone would disagree that Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) was doomed even before it began.

Indeed, the Venom … Continue reading Kraven the Hunter (2024) Review!!
