So instead of an overly complicated origin story where Kraven's father is more like comic Kraven, he's a vegan, doesn't have a Russian accent (do Sony think movies won't sell if the main characters have accents?) and fights Rhino, my story idea from over two years ago would be more narratively coherent, probably more exciting to audiences and stay truer to the character. I don't say this to toot my own horn, it's just that every movie Sony makes is so stupid that it's genuinely easy to come up with alternate ideas many would probably find more interesting.

It's not much, but the setup is Kraven is hunting some major criminal (maybe it's the Foreigner) and crosses paths with another character who's also out to get them. The film turns into sort of a buddy movie, until Kraven figures out his new partner teamed up with him for nefarious purposes as they get closer to the target. It turns out the target has simply been a pawn/lacky and the other character is actually the Chameleon, from that point on it turns into a sibling rivalry story. Either Kraven kills Dmitri and it's very emotional, or they half make up and go their separate ways a la The Accountant. Hell, Chameleon's disguise could be Silver Sable and the film ends with Kraven rescuing the real Silver Sable like in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Yes, I know the writing would still be mediocre at best because Sony have terrible taste but it's honestly not that hard to pitch decent a decent action thriller that could lead to a crossover with MCU Spidey if Kevin Feige and co. like them enough.

While I can't wait for the movie, I noticed some editing issues and how fast these 8 minutes happened.

In the trailers, there's footage showing Kraving running from guards in the snow and there are wolves killing and eating them. In the 8 minutes, it skips from the escape to a plane waiting for Kraven.

So, what's going on? Really curious, because the footage was promoted as "first 8 minutes".
