- Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man villain Calypso is coming to the big screen.
- In the Sony Marvel film “Kraven the Hunter” the voodoo sorceress becomes the anti-heroine.
- Academy Award-nominated actress Ariana DeBose from “West Side Story” takes on the role of Calypso.
Marvel movies are springing up like never before! Even with the new series at Disney +, you can hardly save yourself from superhero stories. Now the comic villain Calypso is to expand the superhero landscape in the Spider-Verse film “Kraven the Hunter”. The Spider-Verse does not belong to the Avengers films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but to Sony and consists of “Spider-Man”, “Venom” and “Morbius”.
The film studio Sony has the film rights to the “Spider-Man” comics and all characters from it. Since Spidey fights with many villains like Venom and Morbius, Sony has more rights to villains than heroes. Therefore, the Sony universe will mainly consist of villains who are staged as anti-heroes.
As Sony wants to keep up with the MCU, “Kraven the Hunter” awaits us as early as January 2023. In it, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Kick-Ass”) plays the role of the anti-hero Kraven. As his love affair and ally, Ariana DeBose will now appear as Calypso.
DeBose is currently in the running for the 2022 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” In fact, in many betting shops it is ahead when it comes to who wins the trophy.
Calypso is a villain from the Marvel Comics. She is a voodoo priestess who is well versed in mixing poison and magic. “Kraven the Hunter” will start in German cinemas on January 12, 2023.
If you’d rather stay true to the MCU, check out the new Marvel Phase 4 movies and series! Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently in cinemas. The film belongs to both the MCU and Sony.
