Kraven the Hunter, the upcoming Sony Spider-Man Universe film, is set to be a dark and unexpected adventure, according to star Russell Crowe. The film focuses on the iconic villain, who has been a long-time favorite among fans of the web-slinger.
Kraven the Hunter has been a highly requested villain, and at one point, it was even rumored that he would appear in Tom Holland‘s third Spider-Man solo film. However, that never came to fruition, and Aaron Taylor Johnson was brought aboard to bring the villain to life in his own solo movie.
Complex Psychology Of Kraven
Alessandro Nivola, who plays a co-star in the film, spoke about the movie’s complex psychology, stating that the movie has a time jump in it, and his character changes a lot from the way he is at the beginning of the film.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who portrays Kraven, stated in a previous interview that the character is “a conservationist” and “a protector of the natural world.” He also promised fans that the film would offer the Kraven that audiences have been waiting to see, with the character being flawed and relatable.
Kraven’s Dark World
Kraven the Hunter star Russell Crowe also spoke about the tone of the movie. He revealed that while speaking with the film’s director, J.C. Chandor, the filmmaker told him that the movie focuses on “an unexpectedly, dark world.” Crowe is excited about the way people will receive the film and passed on the director’s message to fans.
Kraven the Hunter is not a happy-go-lucky guy, and his stories are not light-hearted either. The film’s dark tone could be the perfect way to explore the darker corners of Kraven’s life, without having to juggle Spider-Man himself.
Possibility Of Crossover
Kraven the Hunter’s success could determine the possibility of a crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Although Sony owns the rights to the Spider-Man characters, Marvel Studios could still use them if they choose to. However, the studio would likely have their own casting, making it a tricky situation.
In any case, Kraven the Hunter’s solo movie promises to offer a dark and unexpected adventure for fans of the Spider-Man universe.
