The relentlessly bloody KRAVEN THE HUNTER Red Band trailer.

You know, friends, I don’t think Squirrel Girl’s going to make a cameo in this one.

On the bright side: at least KRAVEN THE HUNTER‘s not shying away from being as bloody as hell. You gotta commit to the bit, in situations like this. The character’s either a costumed clown, or a gore-soaked murderhobo. There’s really no good in-between place.

They’re gonna make a… Kraven the Hunter movie?

Sony, that is.  Part of the ‘Sony Marvel Universe,’ because why not? “The long-time Spider-Man villain, whose real name is Sergei Kravinoff, was a Russian aristocrat who became obsessed with big game hunting. He eventually develops superpowers after taking an elixir from the Voodoo priest Calypso.” …I’m detecting a theme, here.  Sony seems pretty determined to work up the Marvel villains they have a bit more than… well, OK, they only have Spider-Man on the heroe side, so that makes sense.  Expect a lot of tortured anti-hero and villainous movies, then!  And then, when they’ve got that settled, Spider-Man can come back and battle the Sinister Six until the end of time.

Hrm.  That might actually work.

Still, Kraven the Hunter without Squirrel Girl is gonna not be as fun.  And she’s NOT Sony.  Not at all.
