However, all movies struggle to connect with critics, and Tom Hardy’s venom While the films found audiences and were mostly financial successes, others failed miserably at the box office and with audiences.
Part of the reason for the lack of interest in Sony’s Spider-Verse is the absence of its titular Spider-Verse. The latest version of Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, has appeared in the Marvel Universe, and where and when he appears appears to be a creative decision made by Marvel Studios. It would be hard to sell a movie about Venom, Morbius, Madam Webb, and Kraven without Spider-Man — all of these characters have ties to Spider-Man in the comics or are Spider-Man villains. This resulted in both films being major box office disappointments mrs webb and Moebiusand diminishing returns Venom: The Last Dance.

There’s no mention of Knull or Spider-Man, or any of the other characters introduced in previous Sony Marvel movies. Kraven the hunter Having just ended, and without any hints about where SSU is heading, it seems safe to say that the franchise itself is over.
It can be said that Kraven the hunter Not including the end credits was a wise decision. Considering the main movie doesn’t have any clear connection to venom or other SSU movies, it runs as a standalone feature. The credits would feel cheap and unearned if they were tied into the larger universe. Also, considering how poorly the non-Venom SSU movies were received, it seems like a good idea for Sony to hedge their bets and see how Craven before any decisions are made about Taylor-Johnson’s future in the Marvel franchise.
