I ’m surprised that the last three superhero moving picture franchises developed by Marvel and DC , outside theMarvel Cinematic Universeand theDC Universe , have all cease in the same disappointing way . In the last few 10 , there have been many attempt at conform epical events and characters from Marvel and DC Comics into some huge and expansive hot - action movie franchises . I ’m not alone in favoringMarvel Studios ' ever - growing MCU , while the new DCU , under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran , is also look forebode , but not all superhero movie franchises have been so lucky .
Outside theMCU and the freshly - rebooted DCU , 20th Century Fox ’s ten - Men Universe , the DC Extended Universe and Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe have all delivered their own interpretations of these stories from Marvel and DC Comics . All these franchises have also make out to an end , the most recent being the SSU , with2024’sKraven the Huntermarking its final movie . I ca n’t say I ’ve been surprised that these franchises have been canceled , but I have been quite surprised to watch them all come to an end in , unfortunately , similar ways .
The New Mutants Ended Fox’s X-Men Franchise With A Whimper
The New Mutants Ended Fox’s X-Men Universe On August 28, 2020
Back in 2020,The New Mutantsmarked the no-account demise of20th Century Fox’sX - Menfranchise , which introduced an full populace of mutant heroes and scoundrel into unrecorded - action before any other superhero franchise had leg . Fox produced 13 picture in theX - Menfranchise , kicking off with 2000’sX - Menand coming to an destruction shortly after Disney ’s acquisition of Fox was settle in 2019 . Unfortunately , I do not considerThe New Mutantsto be a fond farewell to theX - Menfranchise , and Josh Boone ’s movie actually capsulize everything that was wrong with the franchise .

Thebox function draw ofThe New Mutantsis emblematical of theX - Menfranchise ’s disappointing ending , though this surely was impact by limitation brought about during the COVID-19 pandemic , too . I absolutely loved several motion picture in Fox ’s Marvel franchise , withX2 , First Class , Days of Future Past , Loganand theDeadpoolmovies put up out as my favorites . However , the deficiency of care dedicate toDark PhoenixandThe New Mutantsamid Disney ’s acquisition of Fox mean that the franchise ended incredibly poorly , though Marvel Studios has since paid court to the old dealership .
In 2020 , when most audiences were not go to the movies , a much delayed X - Men spinoff was relinquish that failed to connect with audiences .
2024’sDeadpool & WolverinecanonizedFox’sX - Menfranchise , its realism now knight Earth-10005 , in the MCU ’s multiversal timeline , bringing back Ryan Reynolds ' Deadpool and several other notable heroes from the Fox days . I be intimate that Fox ’s dealership was honored , as theX - Menfilm series laid the foundations for the more - successful superhero franchises of now , namely the MCU . However , the dwindling termination of the enfranchisement withThe New Mutantsset the standard for superhero franchise to stop in its viewing .

As the sequel to DC Films ' most - successful picture show , 2018’sAquaman , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom , unsurprisingly , performed the best out ofDC ’s 2023 motion-picture show . However , the movie was still negatively receive , marking a sorry demise of the DCEU after several years of unsatisfying releases , behind the scene controversies and a want of steering . Filmmaker Zack Snyder had the clearest direction for the early DCEU , but his sight was squander after he leave due to a personal tragedy during the development ofJustice League , which stimulate me and many others to lose religion in the franchise .
Over the years , the DCEU admit several classic characters from DC ’s rich chronicle , but not all of them were done right by the cinematic universe .
SinceThe Suicide SquadandPeacemakerwere two of the most positively - received task in the DCEU ’s previous years , creator James Gunn was hired in a lasting and more creatively - controlling capacity to reinvent DC ’s alive - action at law franchise . The Modern DCU kick off withCreature Commandosat the beginning of December , and will begin to expand with aSupermanreboot in July 2025 , which I ’m very worked up about . Hopefully , Gunn and Safran ’s DCU will help us block about the dashing hopes of the DCEU ’s ending , as I think most would rather just leave about it .
Kraven The Hunter Is The Final Nail In The SSU’s Coffin
Kraven The Hunter Premiered On December 13, 2024
It ’s rarefied that a live - action superhero shared universe set out and we can tell that it ’s doom to fail from the startle , but that ’s exactly what I foretell for Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe ( SSU ) . In December 2024,The Wrap(viaDiscussing Film)reported thatKraven the Hunterwould be the last moving-picture show in the SSU , asSony will or else shift its focus to the MCU’sSpider - Man 4 , the animatedSpider - Man : Beyond the Spider - Versesequel and the live - actionSpider - Noirseries . As the shortest dealership and the most cram - full of letdown , I ’m not surprised the SSU is come to an end .
With only six films comprising the integral franchise , the SSU is different to the large FoxX - Menfranchise and the DC Extended Universe . Notably , both theX - Menand DC franchises were force to reason due to studio apartment changes , but Sony could well continue the SSU . gratefully , however , Sony seems to have been listening to us , the devotee , as there has been overwhelming unfavorable judgment aimed at the quality and impact of its Marvel franchise . Many even hope therights to Spider - Man and his related charactersfrom Marvel Comics are turn over to Marvel Studios , though I conceive this is unlikely .

Even though vast talents , such as Jared Leto , Matt Smith , Dakota Johnson , Sydney Sweeney and , more recently , Aaron Taylor - Johnson , have been involved with the SSU , it ’s only theVenomtrilogy that has been mildly successful . I ’ve even considered theVenommovies to have huge problems , however , soI never found myself gelling with the SSU , and will frankly be felicitous to see the end of the franchise . fortuitously , the futures of theMarvel Cinematic Universeand theDC Universelook bright - I only desire these franchises do n’t come to sorry conclusions like Marvel and DC ’s biggest enfranchisement before them .
Kraven the Hunter search the origin taradiddle of Sergei Kravinoff , known as Kraven , as he navigates his tumultuous relationship with his don , Nikolai . This path of retribution sets Kraven on a journey to become a formidable huntsman with a reputation for frightening brutality .
