Spider-Man spinoff Kraven the Hunter will see Kraven face off against the iconic super-villain Rhino
Will Kraven the Hunter break Sony's cruse of terrible Spiderman spinoffs?
Kraven
The fourth entry is Sony's Venomverse, Kraven the Hunter just got a major update not only will the movie be R-rated the movie will also introduce the super-villain The Rhino.
Making this the second live-action version of the character. The Rhino made his movie debut in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, where he was played by Paul Giamatti.
In the comics, the Rhino aka Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich is a Russian mobster who undergoes an experimental procedure that permanently attaches a special polymer to his skin that gives him super strength and speed.
Actor Alessandro Nivola known for his roles in movies like The Many Saints of Newark and The Boston Strangler will be playing the role.
Kraven the Hunter is one of Spider-Man 's most iconic villains and is Sony's latest attempt at launching a Spider-Man villain movie without the web-slinger.
The studio's track record so far has been a complete disaster, while movies like Venom were box-office successes it was not well-received by fans or critics.
And the latest entry Morbius has turned itself into an unintentional joke, spawning multiple memes online. Hopefully, the studio has learned its lesson and ensured that Kraven the Hunter does not suffer the same fate.
In the comics, Kraven aka Sergei Kravinoff is a big game hunter who tracks and hunts down exotic prey and picks Spider-Man as his next target.
Kraven is an excellent marksman and skilled with the bow and arrow but prefers to fight the deadliest creatures with his bare hands, he consumes a special serum that enhances strength and dramatically slows the aging process.
Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson known for his roles in movies like Kick-Ass, Godzilla and Bullet Train will be playing the role. Oscar winner Russel Crowe will be portraying Kraven's father Nikolaï Kravinoff.
J. C. Chandor known for directing movies like Triple Frontier and A Most Violent Year is helming the project.
Kraven the Hunter will hit theaters worldwide on October 6, 2023.
