The Marvel comic book brand has been treated to numerous adaptations over the years. Many of these adaptations have been considered modern classics by today’s critics and audiences. However, not all films have been so well-received, and now a title that’s considered to be one of the worst Marvel movies ever is now streaming on Netflix.
While there are so many great Marvel movies as mentioned, one could easily create a competition to see which title should be called the worst. Quite a few of the films that fans would expect to see would no doubt be the titles released by Sony, or more specifically, some of their recent attempts to build a shared universe with flops that include Morbius and Madame Web.
One flop is bad enough, but the fact that Marvel fans can recite several under Sony is definitely something else. Now the most recent of these flops is currently available to stream on Netflix. For subscribers that might want to give the Marvel film a chance to see if it really is the worst or simply have something to criticize, they can now do so with their Netflix subscription.
The film, titled Kraven the Hunter, was first released on December 13, 2024. In less than a year, however, and as quickly as it’s initial release – the Spider-Man spin-off was almost immediately slammed by viewers. It received three nominations at the 45th Golden Raspberry Awards, and it only made $62 million worldwide on a $110-130 million production budget.
The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular Spider-Man villain, though in a case similar to their other spin-off films, the movie doesn’t feature any direct reference to Spider-Man. This makes for a complicated viewing and one that isn’t particularly faithful to the comics. This makes it easy to see how things went downhill – though there are many other problems with Kraven the Hunter that don’t make it surprising to see how hard it failed.
On the bright side, it could mean that Sony will be more careful when creating such spin-offs and adaptations based on the Spider-Man brand.
