Kraven the Hunter — the film that ended Sony's Spider-Man Universe heads to Disney Plus

Kraven the Hunter, the Aaron Taylor-Johnson-led 2024 superhero film that grossed $62 million worldwide, is coming to Disney Plus. It was one of three Sony Spider-Man–adjacent releases in 2024 alongside Madame Web and Venom: The Last Dance, and all three films drew harsh critical response. Kraven’s poor box office performance prompted Sony to abandon its planned shared Spider-Man Universe (SSU), marking a major shift in the studio’s Marvel strategy.

• Kraven the Hunter earned $62 million globally during its theatrical run.
• Sony released three Spidey-adjacent spinoffs in 2024: Madame Web, Venom: The Last Dance, and Kraven the Hunter.
• All three 2024 films received negative critical reception; only Venom: The Last Dance avoided being labeled a box office bomb.
• Sony discontinued its planned Spider-Man Universe (SSU) after Kraven’s weak box office showing; Kraven will be made available on Disney Plus.
