    The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been adapting both superheroes and supervillains from Marvel‘s library of comics for years now. Sony has likewise been trying to do the same. Their latest attempt, Kraven the Hunter, features actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular character. Now the first look appears to have leaked online.

    The image, which surfaced on Twitter, features a very interesting glimpse at Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the character. It’s worth noting that fans are actually quite upset by the look because it looks like Kraven is missing one of his most iconic costume pieces from the comics. Fans no doubt recognize Kraven for his memorable lion mane vest. For his first live-action appearance, however, it looks like the vest has been replaced altogether.

    Here’s the photo featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular Kraven the Hunter:

    As mentioned, the lion mane vest seems to have been replaced with a more average-looking leather vest. Of course, he could acquire the lion mane vest later in the film, especially if this is his origin story. Otherwise, Sony could be trying to introduce a new version of the character. One that will have less potential for controversy. Of course, when dealing with a hunter – and villain, no less – it might not strike the right chord with fans. Hopefully we’ll have some official details soon. For now, here’s what fans have to say:

    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.
