Warning! This post contains spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home!
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The MCU multiverse has long been teased, but Phase 4 of the global superhero franchise has put the focus on it front-and-center with its earliest offerings. Both WandaVision and Loki dealt with multiversal themes, and the latter blew it wide open thanks to Sophia di Martino's Sylvie choosing to kill He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), a Kang the Conqueror variant living in the Citadel at the End of Time. With his death, the multiverse is now open to invasion from every Kang variant, and the borders between worlds are more fragile than ever. Spider-Man: No Way Home showcased just how fragile they are, with Doctor Strange's tampered spell resulting in opening the multiverse once more and bringing in villains from previous franchises.
However, as exciting as the multiverse villains that were seen on screen are, there is also a great deal of mystery around those figures whose identity remains a little bit more unknown. For example, during the climactic final fight scene atop the new movie coming out in 2023; the character it could be is Kraven the Hunter.
One of the few characters from Marvel lore that is primarily associated with Spider-Man, matches the description of spear and furs, and has a movie coming out in the near future is the Unhuntable Sergei himself, Kraven the Hunter. Debuting in August 1964 in The Amazing Spider-Man #15, Kraven the Hunter was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and is typically portrayed as a renowned big-game hunter who desires nothing more than to prove himself as the world's greatest hunter. A frequent foe of Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter was also one of the founding of the original Sinister Six. In 2018, a solo Avengers: Age of Ultron.
While few details about the movie are present as yet, seeing Kraven the Hunter as a figure in the multiverse makes sense given his connection to Spider-Man lore and his solo movie in January 2023. Doctor Strange sees multiple figures ready to break through during Spider-Man: No Way Home's reality-cracking final act, but the apparent appearance of furs and a spear would certainly suggest that one of them could have been a tease for the Kraven the Hunter solo movie.
