First he was Kick-Ass, then he was Quicksilver, and now Aaron Taylor-Johnson is jumping over to the Spider-Verse to play Kraven the Hunter in a standalone film. The film was originally expected to come out this October, but now Sony has pushed the film to December, but at least we got a new trailer with it.
Check this out:
Previous teasers had already showed how brutal Kraven can get as a character (like biting someone’s face off), and this new trailer just further shows how violent Sony is planning this movie to be. We get to see Kraven use traps and all kinds of weapons to make sure his enemies are dying in the most brutal way possible.
Unlike Madame Web before it, it does look like this movie is just going to focus on Kraven and his own family, with the tease of him going after the Rhino. Just like with the Venom franchise, it does look like Sony is leaning in on making Kraven more of a violent anti-hero this time, and there aren’t any hints of him clashing with Spider-Man in this movie.
With flops like Morbius and Madame Web, it’s said that Sony is expecting Kraven to be as financially viable as their Venom franchise. I’ll admit, I’m one of the skeptics when it comes to the success of this movie, but it does look like a hyper-violent John Wick, only this time, the lead has actual superpowers.
Maybe Sony will drop one more look before the movie comes out later in the year.
Kraven the Hunter comes to theatres on Dec. 13.
