director Ryan Coogler was on the prowl for the villain of his 2018 entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the filmmaker had his eye on one in particular: Kraven the Hunter.
Kraven attacked T’Challa at a White House-hosted dinner reception for the Wakandan monarch in New York City, revealing that Hunter the White-Wolf hired Kraven to capture his adoptive brother. But then T’Challa defeated Kraven in a battle that spilled out into the streets of Tribeca before it was interrupted by the Avengers.
Years later, after Sergei’s resurrection, T’Challa fought Kraven when Black Panther was operating as a street-level vigilante in Hell’s Kitchen . Kraven drugged T’Challa with a neural toxin before battling him across the city, but he ultimately called off his “dishonorable” hunt.Coogler wanted to use Kraven, but he soon learned Marvel Studios didn’t hold the rights to the character. Instead,“Being a Marvel fan, you want to grab all the characters. You realize there’s contractual things.
“I’ve always loved Kraven the Hunter in almost every iteration. So there was a moment – ‘Can I grab Kraven?’ – and they were , ‘Nah, you don’t have Kraven,’” Coogler said. “He was one where I thought ‘Oh, man.’ But I don’t even know if he would have worked in the movie we ended up with, this was the early days.”
While Sony would allow characters like Michael Keaton’s Vulture and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio to appear in the Disney-owned MCU through its pact with Marvel Studios, the studio reserved the option to produce its own cinematic universe separate from the MCU.
