Kraven The Hunter Review: Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Marvel Return Is A Letdown
The upcoming Sony film is set to focus on “Kraven the Hunter” (once again played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), the offspring of a prominent drug dealer named Nikolai (portrayed by Russell Crowe). As a teenager, Sergei grew disillusioned with his father’s lifestyle and abandoned him, adopting the persona of Kraven. Comic book aficionados are aware that Kraven takes pleasure in hunting humans because they represent nature’s most challenging quarry. This characterization positions him as an authentic antagonist, as he doesn’t kill for ethical reasons; he kills for entertainment. In this film, however, Kraven is motivated by a specific conflict, one that stems from his opposition to his father’s beliefs.
