Spider-man 3 may have found its yet another villain role, as Comedian and host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy Kimmel "confirms" that he will play as Kraven the Hunter in the upcoming sequel.

The filming for Marvel's third Spider-man movie was set to begin this week in Queens. But recent set photos reveal that the studios has started filming in New York City. A reddit user named u/jojokilolo posted photos of shooting announcements in New York by the name "Serenity Now", which is the working title of Spider-man 3.

As the production seems to start now, there have been many casting updates regarding Jamie Foxx returning in the movie, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange to appear, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's possible appearance. Now, recent tweet from Jimmy Kimmel has blown away Internet. Kimmel randomly announced that he has been "tapped" to play Kraven the Hunter in Spider-man 3.

Given Kimmel's jokester personality, there are chances that he might be kidding with this statement. But it is still possible that the studios approached him to play the hunter role. Marvel Studios has a lot of plan regarding Spider-man and they would take Spidey deeper into the story-line. There were rumors of Tom Holland extending his contract. If the rumor is true, then we might get a lot of Spidey movies in the future. This might bring the Sinister Six story-arc to the big screen. Bringing Kraven the Hunter also drags the Sinister Six story-arc closer to us.

This is a weird casting possibility, but the Spider-verse is pretty weird too, which makes the casting far from impossible. What do you think of the announcement? Do you think he is joking around? Or is this the truth? What do you expect from the upcoming sequel? Comment down below and let us know your thoughts!
