The official Kraven the Hunter trailer finally breaks a frustrating Spider-Man trend that has long plagued Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the classic Spider-Man villain, Kraven is the latest foe to receive a live-action movie alongside Venom and Morbius. However, previous Sony trailers have always felt the need to over-promise when it comes to the movie’s actual content.
In Kraven the Hunter’s new trailer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Sergei Kravinoff is a lethal hunter whose targets are always found and eliminated, the son of an equally brutal father (Russell Crowe) who runs a large criminal empire. It looks as though the movie will see Kraven systematically working his way through his father’s empire to prove himself as the world’s greatest hunter, and this mission will also feature a confrontation between Kraven and a brand-new Rhino (played by Alessandro Nivola). That said, the Kraven trailer thankfully avoids any mention or tease of Spider-Man, something that’s been a real problem with past Sony SSU trailers.
