By Sony Pictures has officially released the first eight minutes from its R-rated Marvel movie “Kraven the Hunter” which is currently slated to arrive in cinemas on December 13th.
The project marks the latest film in the SSU/SPUMC universe following the commercially successful “Venom” films and the flops “Morbius” and “Madame Web”. Whether that universe has a future could well be determined by this.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Kraven, a man whose complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe), starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared.
Also starring are Fred Hechinger as Kraven’s estranged half-brother Dmitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon, Alessandro Nivola as Russian mercenary Aleksei Sytsevich/The Rhino, Ariana DeBose as voodoo priestess Calypso who is Kraven’s love interest, and Christopher Abbott as mercenary and assassin The Foreigner.
The film was reportedly shot entirely on location in the UK and Iceland, and is directed by Oscar nominee J.C. Chandor (“Triple Frontier”) from a screenplay co-written by Richard Wenk (“The Equalizer”), Matt Holloway, and Art Marcum.
Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing. The film is reportedly tracking for a domestic opening weekend of $20-25 million.
