During an interview with Uproxx, Far From Home director Jon Watts revealed he would pick Kraven the Hunter as the villain of the next Spider-Man film.
To date, Marvel Studios and Sony’s Spider-Man films have featured villains who had not been seen in previous cinematic depictions of the wall-crawler. Of course, with an abundance of villains to choose from, fans are already proposing possible antagonists for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to face-off against in his third standalone film. Some are hoping to see new versions of previously used foes like Doctor Octopus or Green Goblin while others are suggesting new adversaries like Kraven or Chameleon.
However, Far From Home director Jon Watts noted he prefers to start by asking what audiences haven’t seen before and what would be the most difficult challenge for Peter Parker:
“I mean, yeah, I always just try to start with what haven’t we seen before? And there’s so many Spider-Man villains. I mean, the fact that I got to, in a way, bring Hydro-Man and Molten Man to a movie, really, I get a kick out of that, even if they are fake. But, no, I don’t know who’s next. I always like to think about it in terms of what’s going to be the most difficult thing for Peter. So that’s going to be the next trick.”
Jon Watts later made a clear choice when asked which villain he would pick if it were up to him, stating, “Oh, I would love Kraven. It’s just the trick of how do you do Kraven in a movie?”
