While the exact plot details of Kraven the Hunter are still under wraps, Sony's CinemaCon footage reveals that Taylor-Johnson will be suiting up as the infamous hunter and will go up against several foes. Following the poor reception to the PG-13 Morbius, Sony seems to be embracing the idea of an R-rated project, and Kraven the Hunter will follow in the footsteps of films such as Deadpool and Joker, allowing the hunter to work in very violent ways, including biting the nose off of one enemy's face. Writer Richard Wenk previously revealed that Marvel Comics' Kraven's Last Hunt storyline would be the inspiration for the film.
During this storyline in Marvel Comics, Kraven hunts down Spider-Man, seemingly kills him, and assumes the role of Spider-Man for himself in an effort to prove he can do it better. Speaking to the Discussing Film podcast (video no longer available), Richard Wenk stated that he'd love to see Kraven and Spider-Man come face-to-face, though this seems unlikely as Spider-Man 4 is in development at Marvel Studios, and Sony hasn't revealed a new actor as the web-slinger for the SSU. It's more likely that Kraven the Hunter will detail the villain's origin story, allowing Spider-Man to be featured in a sequel, as Wenk has mentioned the possibility of Kraven the Hunter being a two-part narrative.
