“Kraven the Hunter”, one of Spider-Man’s infamous opponents, is set to make his debut in a standalone film later this year. As anticipation builds for the movie’s release, Sony Pictures has unveiled the first official poster on Twitter. Two big surprises from Sony Pictures came off recently — first the poster and its trailer. It swiftly pushed the trailer for the upcoming title as well.

kraven the hunter Movie poster:
The poster prominently features Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kraven the Hunter, seated menacingly on a throne constructed from the skulls of his defeated foes. However, the film will deviate from the character’s traditional depiction in the comics.
Kraven the Hunter Movie Trailer:
The new trailer for Kraven the Hunter gives moviegoers a first look at the next entry in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Given that Spidey himself hasn’t shown up, some fans believed that the amorphous shared universe is actually connected to a previous cinematic take on the web-slinger. Sadly, the trailer for the upcoming film explicitly confirms this not to be the case. As rumored, the true villain of Kraven the Hunter is none other than fellow Spider-Man foe The Rhino. The movie’s incarnation of the iconic villain is fairly distinct, easily separating him from the one seen in another Spider-Man movie. Thus, there’s no way that the Spider-Man of this universe is the one played by Andrew Garfield in past appearances.
Toward the end of the trailer for Kraven the Hunter, audiences’ first glimpse at its bestial villain can be seen. Played by Alessandro Nivola, the man playfully asks if the truth behind his moniker “The Rhino” is known by another person. He’s then shown using some sort of serum or injection, which causes his arm to mutate into the rough hide of a rhino, effectively backing his nickname. Nothing else of the villain is seen namely his notable forehead horn. This would likely be saved for another trailer or even the movie’s theatrical release, which could be for the best if it’s kept under wraps. As much as this would work in the movie’s favor in terms of building up hype, it’s hampered by the unfortunate debunking of a fan-favorite theory.
Kraven the Hunter Movie Release Date:
Kraven the Hunter was previously scheduled to release on January 13, 2023. However, Sony shifted the release of the movie to October 6, 2023, the same weekend Sony used in the past for the Venom movies.

Kraven the Hunter Movie Reviews:
The major bone of contention for fans is that the main character in Kraven the Hunter has been changed from a pure devilish villain to that a softer anti-hero. The comic book Kraven is much more menacing, they feel. Kraven the Hunter appears in the Spider-Man comics. For the movie version, Kraven the Hunter (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) has been adapted and changed a bit. The film will show his origins and give a reason for his being a villain, rather than show him as a remorseless nemesis of Spider-Man.
Marvel fans have been commenting on social media about the new trailer of Kraven the Hunter. One fan wrote, “Can we get a villain movie where they’re an actual villain? Could have just had him being the big game hunter and then seeing the reports of Spider-Man after No Way Home, going to NYC and hunting him.” Another Kraven fan said, “Kraven The Hunter, who’s supposed to be a hunter, is now a vicious vegan spy! Got powers because he got bitten by a radioactive lion! This is a new low even…
