“I don’t want to get too into the nitty gritty of it, but here’s what I would say: for me as a filmmaker, my number one goal, especially, quite frankly, over the last couple of years where you guys are deep in this world … some of the fans out there, a lot of the fans, were upset with certain decisions and certain outcomes [of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe],” Chandor shared with ComicBook about the franchise’s reception so far. “Then with other films, they’ve gone on to be tremendous successes. So there’s been there’s been a mixed success rate. 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. Give our film a chance.”
He continued, “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.”
Kraven the Hunter has a lot riding on it. Madame Web was a huge disappointment with audiences and critics and Venom: The Last Dance got a combined gross of $436.6 million worldwide, with only a $128.1 million coming from the U.S. Kraven the Hunter has some hype behind it, but if it’s not a success, the Sony Spider-Man Universe is going to have to go back to the drawing board. Chandor has a lot of faith in his film, though, teasing how much potential it has to make things better.
Kraven the Hunter releases on December 13th.
