3. Kraven Will Be The Villain

Another from the never-ending treadmill of MCU/Sony's Marvel Universe crossover rumours, it seems to be an increasingly popular belief that Kraven The Hunter will serve as the film's main antagonist.

Like the Venom character, if this were true it would completely turn things around because it would be an official acknowledgement of Sony's Venomverse in an MCU film. How? Well, because Sony are due to produce a standalone Kraven film - akin to Venom - that is reportedly inspired by Kraven's Last Hunt. And, just on a more general note, it would mark the character's live-action debut - something fans have been eager to see for a long time.

Homecoming and Far From Home director Jon Watts has revealed that he'd love to use Kraven in a third Spider-Man film so, with the help of Sony, could he make that a reality? Hunting down a former hero whose identity is known to the world sounds like something a bounty hunter like Kraven might be interested in, so the plot would certainly call for it - especially if it's inspired by Last Hunt.
