    If true, I’m good with it. 

    His performance in Bullet Train changed my opinion of him as an actor - if Layer Cake was Craig’s audition for Bond, I think Bullet Train was Johnson’s.

    Either way, I might actually pay to see Kraven in the theater.

     

    this would make up for all the $ Sony isn't going to spend on marketing after the MW debacle

    Nah.  It is more than possible to make a decent, or even great, film using any character.  Provided you have a good story to tell.  

    The problem with the Sony Spider-U-Verse is that they have put the horse before the cart.  Which is to say, someone went "Hey! Spider-Man is popular.  We have the rights to all these Spider-Man adjacent characters.  We need to go make a movies out of all of them and just wait for the cash to come rolling in!"

    And then Venom happened and it was a big hit and thus they determined that this strategy was obviously correct. 

    So we got Morbius. And Madam Web. And soon-to-come Kraven the Hunter. With no one actually giving a **** about the story (or, if I'm being generous, only giving the barest of *****.  Someone probably cared, but didn't have the ability to make it good on the schedule the studio pre-determined)
     

    Chandor has made two good movies but can he rise above the stink that is the Sony non-animated SpiderVerse? The trailer didn't give me the warm and fuzzies, it was more encouraging than anything MW showed

    (low bar alert)

    What opportunity? Just the fact that they chose these characters to make a movie out of means it was doomed from before the start.

    Want to know the ONLY thing that will "right the live films ship" here?  A Spider-Man movie.

    That's it.

    you may be overlooking this cinematic masterpiece
