SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Star Tom Holland Pitched VENOM And KRAVEN Movies After Disney/Sony Split

Tom Holland has opened up on the fallout from Sony's split with Disney and Marvel Studios, revealing that he pitched ideas like Spider-Man falling through a portal and even a Kraven the Hunter film!

During post-production on Spider-Man: Far From Home, Disney/Marvel Studios' and Sony Pictures' working relationship came to an end. We'd find out about it months later, but with everyone from the Russo Brothers to a countless number of fans on social media making their disappointment known, the studios figured something out and will continue to share the web-slinger...for now. 

It's obvious we'll see Tom Holland's Peter Parker swing into Sony's Spider-Man Universe before long, but the hope is he'll also remain in the MCU beyond Spider-Man: No Way Home

According to Screen Rant (who have shared some quotes from Empire Magazine), Holland met with producer Amy Pascal after the split to discuss ideas for where Spider-Man could go next. The actor reveals that he suggested a Kraven the Hunter film and even wondered whether we could just see the hero fall through a "portal" and end up in the same world as Venom. 

He also admits that he wasn't ready to say goodbye to the MCU, and expressed relief that the two parties were able to come to a new agreement (which we know Holland was a crucial part of making happen following a conversation with former Disney CEO Bob Iger).

Sony would have had to find a way to explain Spidey's jump from one world to the next, and we're guessing Madame Web might have facilitated that somehow. We may never know, but it doesn't sound as if this pitch got past the idea stage before the iconic superhero was allowed to remain in the MCU.

''which we know Holland was a crucial part of making happen following a conversation with former Disney CEO Bob Iger''

I still think this is made much larger then it really was.

Anyway, the Kraven/Venom storyline seems already be the basis of the upcoming game, but I still think it would be cool if we get that in live-action too (then atleast the Venom and Kraven movies would lead up to something)

Doesn't this seem weird considering Holland was apparently calling in tears to get the deal back on? You can't even say it's because pascal was gonna reboot Spiderman again, firing Holland, since she made it clear whatever was happening next would've included Holland.

All I'm saying is that the Holland crying story was most likely just a corporate sob story for sympathy.

I’d still love to see a Lizard and Kraven movie. Dr. Connors becomes Lizard early on, and Kraven comes to New York to hunt him for his reality show. Spider-Man has to protect the lizard from Kraven, while fighting both, and the second acts ends when Spider-Man cures Dr. Conners, humiliates Kraven on live television, ousting him as a fraud/villain/etc. The third act is a condensed “Kraven’s Last Hunt” story, with Kraven feeling like he has nothing to lose and deciding Spider-Man is who he needs to hunt, after all.

@Benjamitesandwich - ugh, never been fond of attention seeking Kraven who needs a show.
Kraven and Lizard in a film adapting Kravens Last Hunt though? Down for it.

I’m going to call shenanigans on this… as much pull as Tom Holland might have, I highly doubt it comes down to him negotiating what happens to the Spider-Man property.
In reality he was most likely entertained for his ideas and the Sandwich throwers and takers of throws compromised on what to do with Spider-Man.

You all can be excited about NWH all you want, but I'd have much preferred a Kraven movie over having to see TM as Peter again.

Kraven is my second favorite Spider-Man villain. Kraven should definitely be in the 4th film

The initial end of the Sony/Marvel deal after Spider-man Far from Home coming to an end wasn't a shocker. In fact 2 years before it came out I did a video on youtube saying the deal ended after Spider-man Far from home and no one noticed.

They’ve just butchered the character of Peter Parker/Spidey so thoroughly that I just find it incredibly difficult to garner excitement for the future. If they bring Tobey back I’m obviously in cuz Raimi’s Spidey was spidey
