Sony and Marvel have just released the official trailer for Kraven the Hunter. The trailer successfully gave us a first look at the film’s look and feel. This will be Sony’s first R-rated film and one of the many Spider-Verse characters to be spun off into their own movie.
Kraven the Hunter stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Sergei Kravinoff (Kraven), with Ariana DeBose as Calypso, Fred Hechinger as Dmitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon, Christopher Abbott as The Foreigner, and Alessandro Nivola as Aleksei Sytsevich/Rhino. We can also see Russell Crowe as Nikolai Kravinoff, Kraven’s estranged father. The film’s premise is that Kraven is on a “revenge tour” working through a “list.”
Kraven the Hunter is directed by J. C. Chandor, known for his work on “A Most Violent Year (2014)” and “Triple Frontier (2019),” and written by Richard Wenk, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway. Richard Wenk’s previous work includes The Equalizer film series, The Expendables 2, and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. The duo Art Marcum and Matt Holloway are best known for writing the scripts of the first Iron Man (2008), Transformers: The Last Knight, and Punisher: War Zone.
