None of these characters make sense to do on their own.

Spider-Woman isn’t connected to Spider-Man in any meaningful way. Sony can easily make a solo with her.
Kraven I agree.

Is there a Spider-Woman movie confirmed or something…?
It is up in the air I hear.
After the break out success in Into the Spider Verse, there has been talk of a Spider Gwen spin-off featuring her and other Spider ladies like OG Spider Woman, Jessica Drew and Silk. As far as a solo live action joint, nothing but Madam Web rumors.
Given how dumb Sony movie folk are they will burn the whole franchise down before they do a decent live action Spider Woman film.
Allegedly that’s the movie Olivia Wilde has been brought in to direct.

Olivia wilde signed on to direct a marvel movie. She posted a spider emoji and then marvel a few hours later started promoting a spiderwoman comic.
At this point everyone is fuckin with the fan base so we’re just fan theorizing.

Yeah, no way Wilde is playing Gwen, considering she’s 36. A teen star would be more adequate in that role.
So I’ve read that her role in this new movie is that of director? For realz? She has like a couple of small movies under her belt from what I read

Marvel and Disney aren’t above hands holding directors into a vision they want. This is why alot of directors quit marvel and star wars projects

When it comes to Star Wars KK fires directors while they are filming the movie. She really doesn’t do her due diligence.

She does in terms of talent or name recognition but like any employee - employer relationship there comes a time when a compromise of vision is necessary. So far it seems Kennedy isn’t about that.
She was unhappy with the direction Lord & Miller were taking Solo after they already had 70% of the movie filmed. That’s super late in the game to be having creative differences.

She isn’t a good character either ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, she is the reason the movie lost money. It, and this isn’t hyperbole, cost twice its original budget. They filmed the movie twice. They had to switch the antagonist because the original had a scheduling conflict.

Not entirely at all.
CCO Alan Horn has taken part of the blame as he says he was the one pushing for a Summer release, feeling that Star Wars could sustain two movies a year.
Turns out it ended up being hurt by Deadpool 2 and Infinity War being their competition.
That’s why Horn ended up deciding to cut on the Anthology films and shrink back Lucasfilm productions.

If she hadn’t filmed the movie twice. It still makes money even with the box office it made.
A little but would have still been considered a failure.
The Summer release was a mistake, and Horn himself acknowledged it. The hype just wasn’t there, and competition was big.
A profitable disappointment beats a box office bomb any day of the week. With the original budget, the movie makes roughly 93 million dollars. With the actually budget it lost roughly 107 million dollars. That’s a 200 million dollar difference.

Well, reshoots are usually considered within the budget. So I don’t think that rose the costs too much.
Also, don’t forget marketing costs are not part of the listed budget. The movie wouldn’t have made that much.
Solo didn’t have simple standard reshoots. Lord and Miller were nearly finished with the movie when Kathleen Kennedy decided to fire them. The original budget was 150 million dollars. It ended up costing more than 250 million dollars because like @Hawkingbird said, the moving was mostly filmed already. Ron Howard was brought in and basically reshot the entire film again. They had to change the original concept for Dryden Vos and the actor that played him. Paul Bettany was brought in last minute and instead of the original Alien mocop (Gollum style) villain. They ended up just doing a human character.
