Though Sony hasn’t released a live-action Spider-Man film in forever and have no plans to anytime soon, they’re still not giving up on their own Spider-Verse, which features some of his classic villains and allies.
Following the atomic bombs that were Morbius and more recently Madame Web (just tuuuurible), Sony is hoping that their next Spidey spinoff, Kraven, can help rejuvenate comic book fans’ appetite for their struggling comic book universe. Good luck with that.
Still, they’ve just dropped off a new trailer for the origin story of one of Spider-Man’s deadliest foes and truth be told, it looks pretty entertaining. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular character, the new trailer to Kraven shows just how merciless and blood thirsty Sergei Nikolaievich Kravinoff (Kraven) can get when he has a mission to complete. Stabbing men, using bear traps to almost decapitate other men and dismembering whoever’s in his way, Kraven seems like he can be the evil John Wick of Sony’s Spider-Verse.
In the previous trailer we learned that he got his superhuman strength from a lion who took a few chomps out of him but didn’t finish the job (sort of similar to Catwoman in 1992’s Batman Returns). So now that he’s learned how to utilize his newfound abilities, Kraven’s out to prove he’s the world’s deadliest hunter while dealing with some daddy issues (Russell Crowe) that we’re sure will come to a head by the end of the film.
Check out the new trailer to Kraven below, and let us know if you’ll be checking for this when it hits theaters Dec. 13.
