Kraven the Hunter trailer: Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars in a fresh take on Marvel supervillain
Kraven the Hunter will be released on October 6, 2023.
A trailer for JCChandor's Kraven the Hunter is out. The film stars English actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the titular role of popular Marvel supervillain Sergei Kravinoff, who here looks and feels a lot different from the character we know from comics. Written by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Richard Wenk, the film serves as an origin story of the character and is the latest among Marvel supervillain movies being made by Sony (after Venom and Morbius). Russell Crowe plays the role of Sergei's father who is instrumental in his journey towards Kraven. While Kraven is traditionally a Spider-Man supervillain, this will likely be his solo movie, though there are going to be more popular Marvel characters.
In the trailer, Kraven is shown to be having a tough childhood with his forbidding father neatly delineating the difference between predator and prey. Eventually, Kraven, after getting mysterious powers after an encounter with a lion in Africa, grows out of his father's shadow. The trailer is bloody and violent and the film looks good thus far.
