\"\"Sony doesn’t appear to be stopping in their attempt to milk there\u00a0Spider-Man\u00a0<\/strong>license, as the studio has picked a writer for its long planned\u00a0Kraven the Hunter\u00a0<\/strong>movie.<\/p>\n

Collider is reporting that Richard Wenk, writer of\u00a0The Equalizer\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0The Equalizer 2\u00a0<\/strong>has been hired to write the script for the stand-alone feature for the Spider-Man villain.<\/p>\n

For those of you who do not know, Kraven is Sergei Kravinoff, a renowned big-game hunter known for taking down big game with his bare hands. He comes to New York to hunt the most dangerous game of all–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

The character was originally planned to be a part of the\u00a0Sinister Six\u00a0<\/strong>movie that we to be spun off from the Andrew Garfield\/Marc Webb\u00a0Spider-Man\u00a0<\/strong>films. He also appeared in the leaked plot description for the now-delayed\u00a0Silver and Black\u00a0<\/strong>movie.<\/p>\n

As Spider-Man villains go, I’ve always found him bland in comparison to other members of Spidey’s rogues gallery. But I can sort of see some potential in a film starring him, depending on how he is used.<\/p>\n

More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Sony hopes Richard Wenk will bring some of that EQUALIZER success to its latest Spider-Man spin-off, KRAVEN THE HUNTER. <\/div>\n
