Although the three of them reaped various responses from loyal Marvel fans. but financially, these films are quite successful.

Along with this announcement, Sony has also postponed the schedule of other Marvel films, from June 7, 2024 to July 12, 2024.

Not a few fans speculate that the schedule is prepared by Sony for the El Muerto film which they are currently developing.
Sony itself did not explain further why they pushed back the release schedule for Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web. Since the shooting of the two films is currently ongoing, it is not impossible that the reason is because the production process is delayed from the original schedule.
