Sergei Kravinoff aka Kraven the Hunter, who is one of Spider-Man’s best known and most formidable enemies as well as the half-brother of the Chameleon. A big-game hunter who likes to take down his prey with his bare hands. Kraven meets a witch doctor who gives him a potion that enhances his senses and powers, and slows down the aging process. To prove himself as the world’s greatest hunter, Kraven wants to take down Spider-Man.He's a character that Sony has been trying to bring to the screen for a while – he's been rumoured for the Amazing Spider-Man movies and a film about him has been in development for years.
Could Sony sneak him into Spider-Man: No Way Home before release? We'll see, but for now, this marks the expansion of the Sony Spider-Verse.
