With Kraven the Hunter's box office performance crucial to Sony's struggling Spider-Man universe, the future of this cinematic realm hangs in the balance.

- Sony's Spider-Man Universe, launched in 2018 with Venom, has struggled to replicate that film's box office success, with efforts like Morbius and Madame Web generating more memes than profits.
- Despite plans for spinoffs like El Muerto and a Hypno-Hustler movie, Sony's confidence in the franchise is waning, as they shift focus to the acclaimed animated Spider-Verse films and other non-superhero projects that are delivering bigger hits.
