Oh Sony >Black Panther co-writer/director Ryan Coogler wanted to include a Spider-Man villain in the upcoming film - Kraven the Hunter, inspired by a key scene in Christopher Priest's Black Panther run. However, according to Marvel Studios, the character was unavailable.
>“Being a Marvel fan, you want to grab all the characters," Coogler told Yahoo! Movies UK. "You realise there’s contractual things. You don’t have that character. There was a Christopher Priest run that was pretty heavy, there’s a big scene where Panther’s fighting Kraven, Kraven the Hunter.”
>“I’ve always loved Kraven the Hunter in almost every iteration," he continued. "So there was a moment – ‘Can I grab Kraven?’ – and they were ‘Nah, you don’t have Kraven.’ He was one where I thought ‘Oh, man.’ But I don’t even know if he would have worked in the movie we ended up with, this was the early days.”
While he may be a Spiderman villian Kraven works well fighting against other animal themed heroes

I hope this means Kraven is gonna be the big bad in the next spidey film and they don't want him to be defeated by bp a year or so beforehand
Gavin King
Damn that would have been cool
Ethan Rivera
Kraven HAS to debut in an actual Spider-Man movie, an established Spider-Man too.
Austin Miller
Sony wants to make a Kraven solo film. Also a Mysterio solo film.
Jackson Martinez
>Sony
Grayson Morales
How the fuck can they have spider man but not keaven?
Easton Campbell
They want to introduce Kraven in a Spider-Man film first.
Brody Cooper
Thats fucking dumb, considering how long it takes for that to happen and how bad the tom holland spiderman is
Elijah Jones
That's some Kamen Rider tier poses Kraven and BP are doing.
Jack Fisher
I always wondered this. BP takes magical herbs that make him super swift and strong.
I always wondered does Kraven do the same shit?
Jaxon Jenkins
Well it would have made a great tease/setup Yeah, that ain't fucking happening. It's a stupid idea to give villains solos, and it will probably get canned after Venom flops
Brayden Thomas
Fuck, that would have been so cool.
Michael Campbell
Yeah, but Kraven's are detrimental to your mental health. I think they're the reason why Kraven, Jr. relapsed into villainy. I think they're was also a story where Macendale tried to get ahold of them during his "gotta get powers" phase.
Ethan Clark
Aaaaah that would have been dope
Jack Price
There is "Beware the Rage of a Desperate Man" read part of it at the time and wanted to finish it but Marvel Unlimited doesn't have the Web of Spider-Man series from the 90's up.
Kevin Hill
Because they don't "have" Spider-man. Spider-man is on loan from Sony. They only have access to characters that Sony let's them use, and since Sony wants to make a Kraven solo film, they won't let Marvel have Kraven.
Dylan Robinson
So BP is a drug addict nigger?
Matthew Rodriguez
Seems more like a natural, weaker version of the super soldier serum that must constantly be replenished.
Dylan Hernandez
What kind of knife is BP using?
Is it made of explosions?
Landon Wilson
Who is the kitty cat totem?
Camden Barnes
Fuck, wouldn't it? I can't believe I didn't think of it. Kraven's goddamn perfect as a BP antagonist.
Asher Murphy
Fuck Spider-Man Homecoming. If it wasn't for that piece of shit, we could have gotten Kraven. That's twice now that the subpar spiderbitch robbed a movie of really neat scenes.
Robert Martin
Fucking why?
Noah Carter
Everret K Ross
Grayson Peterson
It's Sony.
Xavier Cooper
I believe he also took a serum or something at some point. I think he's also supposed to be pushing 100 too.
