“For some reason, the press decided that they didn’t want us making these films out of ‘Kraven’ and ‘Madame Web,’ and the critics just destroyed them.

Vinciquerra cited the lackluster critical reception of Sony’s Marvel movies as a reason why he says the studio needs to “rethink” how it proceeds with new “Spider-Man” movies it releases. “It’s snake-bitten. If we put another one out, it’s going to get destroyed, no matter how good or bad it is,” he explained.Despite Vinciquerra defending “Kraven” and “Madame Web” as “not terrible,” the action flicks have 16% and 11% scores on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively.
