Is Kraven the Hunter the last chance for Sony’s Spider-Man universe?

We’ve had five supposedly Spidey features without any sign of their presiding superhero. Let’s hope he finally swings into action in the sixth

Does anyone out there really know why Spider-Man himself never appears in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe? We are now five movies into the studio’s ongoing effort to spin an entire cinematic web from the sticky residue of the masked webslinger’s famed rogue’s gallery, and there is still no sign of the little guy himself.

There have been three whole (deeply average) Venom movies without so much as a sniff of New York’s friendly neighbourhood wall crawler. Jared Leto managed to completely suck the life out of rooms both on and off screen during the putrid events of Morbius without even glimpsing Peter Parker’s crime-fighting alter-ego swinging through the skyscrapers in his peripheral vision. And Madame Web was too busy delivering cryptic monologues about fate to fit our hero into her already sagging narrative net.
