As Sony began building its Universe of Marvel Characters on the Tom Holland-led Venom, a Kraven the Hunter film was put into development with Richard Wenk (The Equalizer) set to pen the script and Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven) in talks to direct.
The next films in the series, Morbius and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, are set to hit theaters in 2021.
Though Chandor has been hired in place of Fuqua, Wenk’s script, which is inspired by the popular storyline “Kraven’s Last Hunt,” is still being used for the project.
It’s been two yers since we last heard word on Sony’s Kraven the Hunter film set in the studio’s Marvel Universe and now Deadline has brought word that the project is taking a big step forward as Triple Frontier‘s J.C. Chandor has signed on to direct the project.
