2025 promises to be an exceptional year for the animated series “Family Guy,” with it currently marking its 25th anniversary. Interestingly enough, those who were fans of the show when it was initially cancelled by Fox during its early seasons in the 2000s might find this fact surprising. However, the show’s success in reruns and DVD sales was so significant that Fox reintroduced the series in 2005, and it has been consistently producing new episodes ever since. In today’s world, it seems that violence, movies, and “Family Guy” dominate TV screens.

Titled “Kraven the Hunter,” this upcoming film features Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the lead role, marking another addition to Sony’s Spider-Man universe. However, this franchise has had its ups and downs when it comes to connecting with audiences, as evidenced by the mixed success of movies like “Venom” versus the disappointing performances of “Morbius” and “Madame Web.” With these two films underperforming significantly and damaging audience trust in Sony’s ability to deliver a satisfying cinematic experience based solely on Spider-Man villains with no sign of the Web Crawler, there is certainly pressure on “Kraven” to break the curse. The film’s director, J.C. Chandor, is optimistic that his movie can do just that. In an exclusive conversation with ComicBook, Chandor discussed how “Kraven the Hunter” adheres to comic book lore and shared his enthusiasm for bringing his faithful interpretation of the title character to life for fans.
