New fan art imagines Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man taking on Kraven the Hunter in a long-hoped-forThe Amazing Spider-Man 3movie. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to make his live-action debut as Sergei Kravinoff in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe on December 13, and, currently,Kraven the Hunteris the final Marvel moviein Sony’s upcoming release schedule. This leaves the fate of the SSU uncertain, though has raised speculation of a possible crossover with theMCUor even a shift in the franchise, which could finally see Spider-Man introduced alongside some of his most notable villains.
Oneroute that Sony could take with the SSU’s futurewould be bringing back a classic iteration of Spider-Man to face the likes of Venom, Morbius and Kraven the Hunter. There have been calls for Andrew Garfield to reprise the role ofPeter Parker from Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider-Manduology, particularly afterSpider-Man: No Way Hometeamed him up with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland.Garfield’s return as Spider-Man and possible battle against Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven has been imagined in striking fan artshared byARIFINITY, proving this fight would be epic inThe Amazing Spider-Man 3.
What Andrew Garfield’s Return Would Mean For Kraven The Hunter
Andrew Garfield Played Peter Parker In 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man & Its 2014 Sequel
Although 2014’sThe Amazing Spider-Man 2was received fairly poorly, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man has gained new popularity in recent years. His appearance alongside his wall-crawling variants in Marvel Studios’Spider-Man: No Way Homereignited interest inGarfield returning as Spider-Man, andsince Sony’s Spider-Man Universe was born from planned spinoffs of Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider-Manmovies, Garfield’s web-slinger could be folded back into the franchise easily. This could have huge repercussions for the upcomingKraven the Hunterand the franchise’s future.

In Marvel Comics,Kraven the Hunter is one of Spider-Man’s most powerful and longest-running adversaries. There have been concerns that Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven might never battle Spider-Man on-screen, following the pattern of otheradapted villains in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Bringing Andrew Garfield back inKraven the HunterorThe Amazing Spider-Man 3presents the perfect opportunity for Peter Parker and Sergei Kravinoff to cross paths, and this could boost interest in, and therefore the success of, 2024’sKraven the Huntermovie, though it may already be too late for this to occur.
Our Take On Andrew Garfield Returning As Spider-Man Alongside Kraven The Hunter
Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Might Not Work For The SSU Now
While it would be great to see Andrew Garfield become Spider-Man again, it would be better for this to happen in the MCU, perhaps inSpider-Man 4or inAvengers: Secret Wars.It doesn’t make sense for Andrew Garfield to be Spider-Man in the SSU, especially since we sawPeter Parker be born in the 2003-setMadame Web, which would make him nine-years-old during 2012’sThe Amazing Spider-Man. Assuming Sony doesn’t abandon its Marvel franchise afterKraven the Hunter, it’s more likely someone new will become Spider-Man, andThe Amazing Spider-Man 3will probably never see the light of day.
