Sony’s Kraven the Hunter lands on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies list just a few months after bombing at the box office. As the MCU’s Phase 5 continues to develop, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has apparently come to an end following the overwhelmingly poor reception of Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter, as well as Venom: The Last Dance‘s disappointing box office results and reviews in comparison to Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Despite Kraven the Hunter‘s appalling theatrical run, the last installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has landed the third spot on Netflix‘s Top 10 Movies list. As of March 18, 2025, Kraven the Hunter has collected 7.1 million views and 15 million hours viewed. Kraven the Hunter‘s stats are only topped by Plankton: The Movie and #2 and The Electric State at #1.

What Kraven The Hunter’s Netflix Success Means

Netflix Gives Kraven The Hunter Another Chance

Kraven the Hunter has the lowest box office in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. However, Kraven the Hunter‘s poor box office performance may have been affected by the diminishing popularity of its franchise rather than its own quality. As Netflix users who didn’t catch the movie in theaters get the chance to watch Kraven the Hunter at home, many of them may be pleasantly surprised by it. Kraven the Hunter isn’t a groundbreaking film by any means, but it may exceed the expectations of those who may have quit Sony’s Spider-Man Universe after Morbius and Madame Web.

Kraven the Hunter‘s streaming popularity may be a boost to the movie and the studio’s investment, making the last installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe less of a commercial disappointment than it would have been without a similar streaming performance. However, it may not be enough to reawaken the franchise, at least for now. What Sony and Marvel will do with all the characters introduced in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter, is yet to be confirmed.

Our Take On Kraven The Hunter’s Netflix Success

Kraven The Hunter Deserved Better Than A Box Office Flop And A Third Spot In Streaming

Kraven the Hunter‘s third spot on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies list may be good news for the movie, but it proves how badly Kraven’s potential was wasted. Kraven the Hunter is one of Spider-Man’s most famous and dangerous villains, and he starred in one of the most acclaimed storylines in Marvel history — Kraven’s Last Hunt. Had things turned out okay for Kraven, he would have been at the same level of popularity as characters like Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus. Unfortunately, Kraven’s movie future has ground to a halt.
