Dan Slott wants Marvel to do a ‘Kraven’s Last Hunt’ Spider-Man film
By Daniel Wood
When it comes to talking Spider-Man many, many people do it. I’m doing it for a job right now! But there won’t be many people more qualified to discuss Spider-Man than current Amazing Spider-Man comic book writer Dan Slott who has finally weighed in on the Marvel/Sony deal allowing Spider-Man to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Speaking to the Latino Review Slott spoke of his initial surprise upon hearing news of the deal, having previously been told that it would never, ever happen because of the politics involved. However he then moved on to speculating about what storyline he’d like to see Marvel take on, and the answer is a familiar one!
"I would say the J.M. DeMatteis story “Kraven’s Last Hunt.” I would love for a screenwriter to mine that material. This is something that comics fans get upset about when a movie is being made before they get a chance to see it. You have to change things for the movie. There are things that work in a comic, and then there are things that you can only do in a movie. But I think if someone, as a starting point, took “Kraven’s Last Hunt,” which is one of the greatest Spider-Man stories ever told, I think you could have a phenomenal movie."
Support for a Kraven’s Last Hunt Spider-Man film seems to be getting some traction, with the leaked Sony emails also suggesting that many people within the studio felt the same as well! For those of you that don’t know, Kraven’s Last Hunt is a dark storyline that sees Kraven The Hunter capture Spider-Man and then pretend to be him, you can check out our review here.
