Kraven the Hunter At The Theater Review

We are finally seeing Kraven the Hunter the final film in the Sony Spider-Man Universe and we have thoughts and would love to hear yours if you have seen the movie. 



Kraven the Hunter is a 2024 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Directed by J. C. Chandor from a screenplay by Richard Wenk, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, the film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kraven the Hunter, alongside Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott, and Russell Crowe. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment, it is the sixth and final installment in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU).[4][5] The film explores Kraven's complex relationship with his father and his path to becoming the greatest hunter.

Kraven was considered for film appearances several times before Sony Pictures became interested in a standalone film for the character, as part of its new shared universe, in 2017. Wenk was hired in August 2018, with Marcum and Holloway joining later. Chandor entered negotiations to direct in August 2020 and was confirmed in May 2021 when Taylor-Johnson was cast. Additional cast members joined in early 2022 before filming took place from late March until mid-June in London, Iceland, and Glasgow.

Following two years of delays, Kraven the Hunter is scheduled to be released by Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States on December 13, 2024. The film received largely negative reviews by critics, who criticized its story, screenplay and visual effects, though some praised the action sequences and Taylor-Johnson's performance.
