Aaron Taylor-Johnson Is On The Hunt In First Poster and Trailer For 'KRAVEN THE HUNTER'

The first poster and trailer for spinoff anti-hero flick ‘KRAVEN THE HUNTER’ has been released and it has star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, front and center looking stoic as ever on a throne.

Some might not know who Kraven is but let us tell you right here and now, he is one of Spider-Man’s most deadly enemies and for a time, in the comics anyway, was damn near unbeatable in a fight against Spidey.

As audiences await the film’s arrival, Sony Pictures has revealed via Twitter the first official poster from the movie, which features its titular character ready for his biggest hunt yet.

Despite the ominous appearance of the character, the film will deviate from his comic book counterpart. Unlike previous iterations, which depicted the Spidey villain as a ruthless hunter, the film will update the character as an anti-hero who aims to protect the natural world. While some fans may express disappointment to the changes, it should also come as no surprise following the success of the Venom franchise, which took on a more anti-hero approach to the classic Spider-Man villain.

Check out the flicks official trailer below thanks to Sony.

So far we have very little details on the film but we do know that it will be an origin story for the character and actually takes place in the same universe as last year’s ‘MORBIUS’.

Taylor-Johnson stars alongside Ariana DeBose, who plays Calypso, and Russell Crowe as Kraven’s father. However, other classic Spidey villains are set to appear in the film as well, with Fred Hechinger set to appear as Chameleon and Alessandro Nivola as the Rhino.

Kraven the Hunter prowls into theaters in October.
