Sony's Spider-Man universe is basically dead. According to reports, the studio is no longer interested in making Spider-Man movies without featuring the websinger himselfwhose only appearance in these live-action films was a brief cameo in "Madame Web" as an infant.

Makes sense, of course. This was, without a doubt, the most disastrous attempt at a cinematic universe since Universal's Dark Universe. Almost none of Sony's Spider-Man villain movies were loved by critics, audiences, or people in general. Granted, there are some fans of the Venom movies who do have some of the most bizarre and fun moments in a superhero movie trilogy in a while - like Venom becoming a gay nightclub icon or Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock climbing into a lobster tank. However, you can only go so far with a universe made almost entirely of comic book villains violently turning into antiheroes.

We saw the effects of that in Kraven the Hunter, the last of Sony's Spider-Man films. As our own Whitney Seybold wrote in his /Film review, the film "is an incoherent, inept gallimaufry of well-worn superhero tropes hastily shoved at an audience the filmmakers know they lost long ago." But at one point, there was a discussion about injecting poison in that film.

While it's likely the last time Sony will make a Spider-Man movie that doesn't focus entirely on Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter surprisingly it has zero connections to any of the other movies. There isn't even a post-credits scene teasing a project that could entice audiences to crave more of Kraven. This is a shame, because it would make sense that the only reason to make a Spider-Man film universe of villains without Peter Parker would be to then bring them all together in a big Sinister Six-style crossover event.

Unfortunately, that never happened, and aside from a brief and very silly encounter between Morbius and Vulture, none of these protagonists have ever met each other in a Sony Spider-Man Universe film. Except, it could have happened.

Concept artist Gilles Dariulat took to Instagram to share a piece of concept art for "Kraven the Hunter" that pits Sergey Kravinov against Venom himself (sort of). A scrapped scene shows Venom lying half-dead in some desolate wasteland surrounded by other dead symbiotes. Given how out of place this could have felt in the main story of Kraven the Hunter, it's more likely that the scrapped scene was meant to be part of a post-credits scene or a nightmare sequence. Unfortunately, we may never find out - let alone see Venom and Kraven meet.
