To the Spider-Man universe that sony has been building from Venom He no longer has any credibility left. That is to say, of course the films starring the symbiote and Tom Hardy They awaken many knowing smiles, and of course we had a great time with the memes of Morbiusbut the films as such parade through the billboard without any conviction, having been Madame Web the last great failure. And yet, for this 2024 we only had Deadpool and Wolverine as a premiere belonging to the MCUit was the case that we were going to have up to three superhero releases from Sony.
The first has been Madame Web. Venom: The Last Dance would conclude the saga of the archenemy of Spider-Man (who has not yet faced Spider-Man) this October 25and before we would have Kraven the Hunter this August 30th. Except that Kraven the Hunteraccording to Hollywood Reporter, it just fell off the calendar. Sony has delayed its release for several months, December 13, 2024causing the film that major was preparing for that date: we are referring to the film-event of karate Kidarticulated as a crossover that united Ralph Macchio (from the original film) already Jackie Chan (of the reboot 2010) training a Chinese kid (Ben Wang).
The new one karate Kiddirected by Jonathan Entwistle with Ming Na-Wen (The Mandalorian) in a secondary role, is no longer released in December of this year, but has moved to May 30, 2025 once your date has become yours Kraven the Hunter. Apparently one of the reasons for the delay is Sony’s desire to serve as the culmination of the saga, taking advantage of the slipstream of the near end of the series. Cobra Kai: one that had to delay the premiere of its sixth and final season due to the actors and writers’ strike, so the major He has done the same with his film (which a priori is not directly related to her).
As to Kraven the Hunter, it turns out that this is not the first time that its premiere has been postponed. The film directed by JC Chandorwith Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the oscarized Ariana DeBose in the leading roles, was originally going to have arrived in October 2023, but the aforementioned strike led to its delay to the summer of 2024. It is to be hoped that this new postponement will be the definitive one, although it turns out that Sony has sent just a day that will have an intimidating competition: the same December 13 Warner Bros. premieres The Rohirrim Wara spin-off animated The Lord of the rings.
Sony has taken the opportunity to make other changes to the calendar, somewhat less impactful. On the one hand They Listen (horror movie Blumhouse) has occupied the old date of Kraven for this August 30, and on the other Animal Friends (a hybrid of animation and live action) has been set for the August 15, 2025. Venom: The Last Dance It remains as it is for now.
