Sony is finally hyping up their next live-action Spider-Man spin-off: Kraven the Hunter. The new film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the titular role, and as you can see in the newly-released Kraven the Hunter red band trailer below, he certainly looks the part.
Surprisingly, the character definitely looks like his comic book counterpart and that alone should have fans satisfied. Sony has occasionally made some interesting creative decisions when it comes to adapting their characters. For example, Morbius alone has received plenty of negative reception since its release. But Kraven the Hunter looks like it could change the tide.
Here’s the official trailer for Kraven the Hunter:
As mentioned, the new trailer certainly shows that Sony is attempting to make Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character as faithful as possible. It’s also exciting that the trailer confirms that the film will be R-rated. Fans have been eager to have such ratings applied to these films, especially the Venom movies, so it’s exciting that they’re headed in that direction. Hopefully we’ll get to see more from the film soon. For now, however, this is a great look at what’s to come for the titular character and what his place in Sony’s new live-action films will be.
J.C. Chandor directed the upcoming film from a screenplay by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk. The film will be produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.
The cast for the new film includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Christopher Abbott, Alessandro Nivola, and Russell Crowe.
Audiences will be able to see Kraven the Hunter when it hits theaters later this year on October 6, 2023. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates on the highly-anticipated film as we have them. For now, however, this newly-released red band trailer is a great example of what’s to come later this year.
