Streaming Availability for Kraven the Hunter

Following its theatrical run, Kraven the Hunter will head to Netflix, in line with Sony’s exclusive streaming deal. While an official streaming release date hasn’t been confirmed, Sony’s past releases suggest Kraven the Hunter will be available to stream by March 2025, three months after its theatrical debut.

For reference:

Madame Web debuted in theaters in February 2024 and hit Netflix in May 2024.
Venom: The Last Dance (October 2024 release) is expected to stream by January 2025.

Sony’s strategy aims to maximize box office performance during the theatrical window before transitioning to streaming platforms. Kraven the Hunter will also arrive on Disney+, but not until after its exclusive window with Netflix concludes.

Digital and Physical Releases for Kraven the Hunter

Like previous SSU films, Kraven the Hunter’s digital release will likely follow the trend of arriving one month after its theatrical debut. This suggests it will be available for digital purchase or rental by January 2025.

The Blu-ray and DVD release will follow, expected around February 2025, based on patterns observed with Sony’s other films:

Madame Web released digitally one month post-theater and physically another month later.
Venom: The Last Dance is slated for physical release in January 2025, three months after its October debut.

Despite the declining market for physical media, Blu-ray and DVD releases still hold importance for fans and collectors, contributing to the overall profitability of SSU films.

Kraven the Hunter expands Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, debuting in theaters on December 13, 2024, and solidifying its presence with a mix of digital, streaming, and physical release strategies. While its box office performance will shape the future of the SSU, fans can expect digital access by January 2025, streaming on Netflix by March 2025, and Blu-ray/DVD availability in February 2025.
