Kraven Flops: The End of Sony’s Spider-Verse

In this episode of This Comic Cooks, Vactor and Shoff finally reach the end of the so-called Sony Spider-Verse—with Kraven the Hunter marking the franchise’s final misstep. Was this movie really as bad as the internet says? Did Sony ever have a real plan for Spider-Man’s villains without Spider-Man? And what does Kraven’s failure mean for the future of Marvel’s big-screen multiverse?

We break down Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s forgettable performance, Russell Crowe’s baffling accent, and the wasted potential of iconic characters like Rhino and Chameleon. Plus, we talk about the contractual chaos between Sony and Marvel Studios, the lost opportunity of a Sinister Six movie, and what comes next—including Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Doomsday, and that Spider-Noir TV show. Subscribe and let’s cook.
