This week we go behind-the-scenes on the making of a Spider-Man movie that nobody saw - Kraven The Hunter! We’ll explore Sam Raimi’s plans to include Kraven in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man franchise, AND Ryan Coogler’s plans to make Kraven part of the Black Panther MCU movies! We’ll also get to the bottom of why the MCU never crossed over with Sony’s Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, and why Tom Holland never showed up in Venom, Morbius, Madame Web, or Kraven! We’ll dig into the movie’s terrible reviews and disastrous box office returns, and what happened to FINALLY cause Sony to pull the plug on making these Spider-Man movie WITHOUT any Spider-Man!
