New "KRAVEN THE HUNTER" Trailer Looks Like A Gory Rambo...And We Are Stoked!

It has been lamented that the era of Marvel is over and the situation of superhero films has made it increasingly more difficult for them to find critical and financial success. Superhero fatigue is real, and horror fans know this feeling all too well, especially the ones who lived through the onslaught of “Scream” knockoffs in the mid to late 90s. Sometimes this overload of content can actually be a good thing as it forces studios to reconsider the formula and adapt it to make what is old feel new again. While we can’t say for sure quite yet, it seems as if Columbia Pictures’ / Sony’s “Kraven The Hunter” may be the bloody kick in the backside that superhero movies need!

Debuting earlier this week is the new trailer for “Kraven The Hunter” which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Russell Crowe, and it looks absolutely brutal. A mixture of Rambo meets John Wick with just a dash of superhero flair to make things extra interesting. While it does still have all the hallmarks of superhero fatigue-laden films like CGI fights and backgrounds, it also presents a far more violent take that is sure to give viewers something more gnarly to sink their teeth into this December. Check out the trailer below, and let us know if you’re craving some Kraven!

Synopsis:

Kraven the Hunter is the visceral, action-packed origin story of how and why one of Marvel's most iconic villains came to be. 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.
