As someone who’s spent countless hours delving into the intricacies of the Spider-Man film franchise, I must say I find myself torn between two worlds this upcoming weekend. On one hand, there’s the highly anticipated Kraven the Hunter, featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson in a gritty, earthy portrayal that promises an action-packed spectacle. On the other, there’s the intriguing vampire thriller Nosferatu, where the same actor finds himself ensnared in a different kind of web altogether.
In the past, there was a unique cinematic blend called Barbenheimer, a fusion of Greta Gerwig’s comedic satire Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s intricate historical drama Oppenheimer. This hybrid left many moviegoers clad in pink and vintage headwear, adding a touch of fun to the cinematic experience. Hollywood attempted to replicate this marketing trick this year with Glicked, urging audiences to spend money on Gladiator 2 and the musical Wicked. However, one half of the pair did significantly better than the other. As we approach the movies set for release in 2024, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is slated to appear in two films vying for box office attention. Therefore, let me propose a weekend spent enjoying Krav-feratu!
The upcoming theater release that’s generating buzz is the standalone Spider-Verse live action film featuring Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Critics aren’t overly fond of it, but given Sony’s history with their non-Spidey universe movies, fans might still turn up in droves. During a recent press event, I posed a question to Taylor-Johnson about whether audiences should also catch his vampire thriller Nosferatu alongside the latest Marvel-related movie. This idea amused him, and he jokingly suggested checking out TopMob for more details on that front.
I mean, those two characters are so far different, that I played. It was quite funny, because (Kraven director) J.C. (Chandor) just goes, ‘I can’t believe that you are that guy, and then I’ve just seen you be this guy!’ So that’s an interesting one for everybody. Kraven is… I’m super proud of this one. And I’m really excited to share it with the world. We spent three years putting this character together. J.C. is a brilliant director. He’s made it kind of gritty, earthy, and grounded. It is a gangster story, with Russell Crow being just the best I’ve seen him in ages. … If you love action, this is going to be an entertaining, great, standalone movie.
Regarding the film “Nosferatu”, as described by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, it’s unlike anything you might expect. In this movie, a young woman named Lily Rose-Depp grapples with an enigmatic fascination she feels towards a malevolent presence from afar across the world. This pull stems from Count Orlok, portrayed by Bill Skarsgard, and Taylor-Johnson’s character finds himself ensnared in the chaos. Unlike his adventures in the Spider-Man universe where he battles Rhinos, here he isn’t engaged in such a fight. However, under director Robert Eggers’ guidance, this vampire tale takes a peculiar twist.
It’s been speculated that the upcoming Kraven the Hunter film could be Sony’s final Spider-Man villain movie, as they seem to shift focus towards Spider-Man 4 featuring Tom Holland. As a writer who has delved into the history of the Spider-Man cinematic universe, I find it puzzling that we have multiple Venom films, Kraven, Morbius, Madame Web movies, yet none of them feature our beloved wall-crawler. Quite extraordinary, wouldn’t you say?
