Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves has formally been offered a role in Sony's Spider-Verse as classic Spider-Man villain, Kraven the Hunter.

Reeves has been offered the role of classic Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter for his own solo film. According to a report by Illuminerdi, the project is currently being referred to simply as Kraven. This report also states that the film has been described as a "mashup" between Logan and Man on Fire. A final decision has yet to be made by either Reeves or Sony.

J.C. Chandor was tapped as the director for the Kraven project in Aug. 2020 as Sony's top choice to bring the Spider-Man villain to the big screen. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Kraven debuted in 1964 for The Amazing Spider-Man #15 but is best known for his 1987's "Kraven's Last Hunt." A big-game hunter, Kraven sets his sights on Spider-Man as his next prize in order to prove he is the world's greatest hunter.

Kraven will be another addition to Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters (SUMC). This includes films like Venom: Let There Be Carnage (starring Tom Hardy) and Morbius (starring Jared Leto), which are set to release in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

Produced by Matt Tolmach and Avi Arad, Sony's Kraven the Hunter currently does not have a release date.
