He comes to New York to hunt the most dangerous game of all&#8211;Spider-Man. However, all his efforts to capture or subdue the wall-crawler ends in failure, leading the egotistical Kraven down the path of insanity, which leads to his suicide. This being the comics, he has been brought back to life to plague the Marvel Universe to this very day.<\/p>\n<p>The character was originally planned to be a part of the\u00a0<strong>Sinister Six\u00a0<\/strong>movie that we to be spun off from the Andrew Garfield\/Marc Webb\u00a0<strong>Spider-Man\u00a0<\/strong>films. He also appeared in the leaked plot description for the now-delayed\u00a0<strong>Silver and Black\u00a0<\/strong>movie.<\/p>\n<p>As Spider-Man villains go, I&#8217;ve always found him bland in comparison to other members of Spidey&#8217;s rogues gallery. But I can sort of see some potential in a film starring him, depending on how he is used.<\/p>\n<p>More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Sony hopes Richard Wenk will bring some of that EQUALIZER success to its latest Spider-Man spin-off, KRAVEN THE HUNTER. <\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/08\/02\/sony-taps-equalizer-writer-to-pen-kraven-the-hunter-film\/\" title=\"Sony Taps EQUALIZER Writer To Pen KRAVEN THE HUNTER Film\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":44244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[106,84],"tags":[9959,9960,9079,7360,545,2854,9936],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-44243","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-comicsandfilm","8":"category-news","9":"tag-kraven-the-hunter","10":"tag-richard-wenk","11":"tag-silver-and-black","12":"tag-sinister-six","13":"tag-spider-man","14":"tag-the-equalizer","15":"tag-the-equalizer-2"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2,4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44243"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=44243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
