Stepping into the Jungle of Revenge: Kraven the Hunter
Prepare yourself for a wild ride as Sony unleashes the grisly new trailer for their latest Spider-Man spinoff flick, Kraven the Hunter. This time, we're diving deep into the dark world of Sergei Nikolaevich Kravinoff, a maniacal big game hunter. Check it out:
From the trailer, it seems Kraven is embarking on a bloody quest for payback, using his expertise with deadly traps and snares to dismember his foes in a gruesome spectacle. He's a cross between Jigsaw, Freddy Krueger, and the MGM lion – fur Coats are back, baby! And here's a treat – the Rhino's back, complete with armor and his signature horn.
We love a good slope towards payback here, so if all goes according to plan, this film could be a rip-roaring action movie. But there's a hiccup. The trailer's relentless portrayal of Kraven as the ultimate badass when the audience already knows his final showdown with Tom Holland's Spider-Man is a given (or at least, depending on the slice of the multiverse this occupies, some version of Spider-Man) is, ironically, hilarious.
The film boasts an impressive cast, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kraven, Ariana DeBose as the voodoo priestess/romantic interest Calypso, Fred Hechinger as Kraven's estranged brother Dmitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon, Alessandro Nivola as the mercenary Aleksei Sytsevich/The Rhino, Christopher Abbott as the assassin Foreigner, and Russell Crowe as Kraven's estranged father, Nikolai Kravinoff.
Mark your calendars for a December 13, 2024, theatre release.
