Sony’s 6th film in their cinematic universe was directed by JC Chandor and stars Aaron Taylor Johnson, Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Alessandro Nivola & Fred Hechinger. In this film, after an encounter with a lion leaves a young teenager with super human abilities, he leaves his father and half brother behind to live on his own. 15 years later and now a man, Kraven spends his life catching criminals in Russia & Europe but then the past returns for him in the form of a mysterious organization that could use a man with his abilities. This movie had been tossed around during the pandemic in hopes for the character to join the MCU. However, the script went through several writers and rewrites and eventually became part of Sony’s spinoff cinematic universe. The film’s initial 2023 release date was pushed back due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA Strike. In December 2024 after the film bombed at the box office, Sony announced that this would be the final film in this cinematic universe.
