Sony's Spider-Man villain spin-off films, like "Morbius" and "Madame Web," may be ending with the release of "Kraven the Hunter," as the studio shifts focus back to projects directly tied to Spider-Man.

Kraven the Hunter: Marvel's Underrated Superhero Movie Villain

The red band trailer for Kraven the Hunter suggests that Sony is taking a back-to-basics approach to the superhero genre, harkening back to pre-2000s movies. The film, which follows the eponymous villain's R-rated origin story and complicated relationship with his father, played by Russell Crowe, looks stylized, well-lit, and occasionally corny in a fun way. Unlike recent comic book movies, Kraven the Hunter isn't trying to be a MCU knockoff, and its embrace of the goofiness inherent in a lion-based villain is a refreshing take. The movie premieres in theaters in October.
