Why Aren't Spider-less Marvel Movies a Hit?
USATue Dec 17 2024
Fans are telling Sony to give up on making Marvel movies without Spider-Man. The new film, "Kraven the Hunter, " starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, didn't do well at the box office, making only $11 million. This is a big loss for Sony, which has struggled with Marvel movies that are not directly about Spider-Man.
Sony used to do fine with Spider-Man movies, like the popular "Spider-Verse" animated films. But now, films like "Venom, " "Morbius, " and "Madame Web" haven't done as well. Fans are wondering why Sony doesn't just bring Spider-Man back or make a movie with other iconic characters.
