With heavy interest by director Marc Webb to bring Kraven the Hunter into the Spider-Man universe, and the villain first appearing in the Sinister Six movie, it seems likely that the famed hunter could be the main foe for Spider-Man in his next standalone movie, but what will he be doing?

'Divergent' & 'Wolf of Wall Street' Star Could Be Mary Jane Watson In 'Amazing Spider-Man 3?'

Comic Vine did some speculating and noted that with Kraven showing up in the movie, it could lead to the story from the comic, Kraven's Last Hunt.

In the comic, Kraven the Hunter is a man who loves challenging hunts. He's conquered every obstacle he's faced, but one keeps eluding him: Spider-Man. No matter how much he stacks the odds in his favor, Spider-Man's raw physical might always overcomes Kraven's skill and tactics.

Kraven is determined to overcome this final challenge and, thanks to Spider-Man making a critical mistake, the villain tags Spider-Man in the neck with a dart. Now that he's drugged, Spidey stands no chance and, after being captured in a net, Kraven aims a rifle at Peter and pulls the trigger.

Motivated by his love for Mary Jane, Spider-Man eventually breaks out of his coffin, makes it back to the surface and confronts Kraven. However, Kraven refuses to fight back because he already won and to him, there's no topping this victory. He sets up a scenario that keeps Spider-Man occupied and this gave Kraven some alone time to reflect on his victory and what it means.

Having finally found true happiness and feeling complete, Kraven gazes at a picture of his family, puts a gun in his mouth and then pulls the trigger.

Comic Vine mentions that this could be too dark for the universe but added that both of the movies so far have featured death and done well at the box office so this shouldn't be much difference. It also would have an interesting character study led plot for the villain following an introduction in Sinister Six.

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is set to open in theaters in 2018.
