The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game features the introduction of a classic Sinister Six big bad...
The upcoming release of Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2is enough to get any old web-head excited, not least of all because it means a new Spider-Man movie game as well.
Going back to the 2002 original film, Spider-Man movie games are a staple of every swinging flick and offer the potential to expand upon the theatrical story in all sorts of marvelous ways. Consider this new game trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which promises the introduction of Kraven the Hunter into the Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield movie-verse.
Kraven the Hunter is one of the all-time great Spidey baddies, having first appeared in 1964’s The Amazing Spider-Man #15. As a stalwart member of the Sinister Six (an organization we’ll certainly be seeing soon on film), he is also the basis of what is hands-down one of the greatest Spider-Man stories ever told: “Kraven’s Last Hunt.” Indeed, this writer personally would love to see a Spidey movie attempt that story, but substitute Vermin with the Lizard (though not necessarily the version we saw in the 2012 film).
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 releases this spring on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, and 3DS.
