Sony's Spider-Man Universe (Spider-Verse) has had a mixed bag of successes and failures since its inception in 2018. The franchise, which includes films like Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, and Madame Web, has seen some critical and commercial disappointments. However, the upcoming release of Kraven the Hunter offers a fresh start and a chance to redeem the universe, which even the director hopes will happen.

During a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Kraven the Hunter director J.C. Chandor acknowledged the mixed success rate of the Spider-Verse, urging fans to give Kraven the Hunter a chance. The filmmaker explains, "People have got to give us a chance and come out and support this film and literally try to wash away some of the other stuff that's happened." He then elaborates, "And I think they'll realize that we've done everything we can to give them a pretty fun story. You'll see when the movie's over, there's potential for a lot of things to happen. But my goal was to isolate our movie, protect it, and just tell a good damn story. And then we'll have opportunities to do a lot of fun things."
