‘Kraven the Hunter’ Trailer: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Plays Marvel Villain
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is hunting big game in the first trailer for Sony’s “Kraven the Hunter.”
The new film teases a villain origin story for Marvel character. In comic book storylines, Kraven is a killer predator that sets his sights on Spider-Man. He is also oftentimes portrayed as a member of the supervillain team the Sinister Six.

Taylor-Johnson stars alongside Ariana DeBose, Christopher Abbott, Alessandro Nivola, Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger.
The trailer teases that “villains aren’t born — they’re made,” showing how the film will explore how Sergei Kravinoff transforms from a young boy raised in harsh conditions into a murderous menace. With superhuman abilities such as enhanced strength, speed, agility, stamina and longevity, as well as a wide range of weapons at his disposal, Kraven seeks out his prey with unmatched vigor.
