“I won’t dive too deep into the details, but here’s what I can say: As a filmmaker, my top priority, especially in recent years, has been to craft something meaningful. Fans have felt disappointed by certain choices and outcomes in some [Sony Spider-Man Universe] films," Chandor explained. "At the same time, other movies in the franchise have seen great success. It’s been a mixed bag."My plea is this: Give us a chance. Support this film. Let Kraven the Hunter be an opportunity to move past the missteps of earlier films. We’ve poured our hearts into creating an exciting story.”Chandor continued, “When the credits roll, I think audiences will recognize the effort we’ve made. This movie sets the stage for exciting possibilities while standing strong on its own. My mission was to shield this story from external pressures and simply deliver a damn good film. If we achieve that, there’s room for a lot more fun to come.”The Sony Spider-Man Universe So Far
