The scriptwriter for this project is Megan McDonnell, who also wrote WandaVision.
4) Kraven The Hunter – October 6, 2023
As mentioned before, some movies are non-MCU stories. This movie is a story based on a Spider-Man villain placed in the same space as Morbius and Venom. Sony Pictures has plans to release a Sinister Six movie.
There is speculation that Kraven may be part of that big plot. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to play the titular role who was seen previously as MCU’s Quicksilver. Production started in 2021, and some teasers are already doing the rounds.
