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 film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU).[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 was released by Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States on December 13, 2024. The film was largely panned by critics, who criticized its story, screenplay and visual effects, though some praised the action sequences and Taylor-Johnson's performance.

Production

Development

Director Sam Raimi planned to include the Marvel Comics character Kraven the Hunter in his fourth Spider-Man film before that project was canceled in favor of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), a reboot of the franchise.[20] Sony Pictures announced plans in December 2013 for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) to establish a shared universe—inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)—based on the Marvel properties they held the rights to.[21] Kraven was teased in that film,[22] with its director Marc Webb expressing interest in seeing the character appear on film.[23] In February 2015, Sony and Marvel Studios announced a new partnership to co-produce the film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), and integrate the Spider-Man character with Marvel's MCU.[24] In May 2017, Sony announced its own shared universe,[25] later named "Sony's Spider-Man Universe".[26] Sony intended this to be "adjunct" to their MCU Spider-Man films,[27] featuring Spider-Man related properties beginning with Venom (2018).[25] The studio was considering a Kraven film for the universe.[28] Before learning that Sony had the film rights for Kraven, director Ryan Coogler hoped to include the character in his MCU film Black Panther (2018) because of a fight between Black Panther and Kraven in Christopher Priest's Black Panther comic book run.[29]

Richard Wenk was hired to write a screenplay for Kraven the Hunter in August 2018, a month after the successful release of Sony's The Equalizer 2 (2018), which he wrote. The project was billed as "the next chapter" of Sony's shared universe.[7][30] Wenk was tasked with introducing Kraven to audiences and figuring out which character he could hunt in the film since Spider-Man, considered to be Kraven's "white whale" in the comic books, was unlikely to appear due to the MCU deal. Whether the film would target adult audiences would depend on the audience response to Venom's darker approach.[7] In October, Wenk said he was "cracking" the story and tone of the film before beginning scripting. He intended to adhere to the character's comic book lore, including by featuring Kraven fighting Spider-Man. Wenk said Sony intended to adapt the Kraven's Last Hunt comic book storyline, and there were ongoing discussions over whether to do that in this film or a later one. Wenk compared the latter approach to the two-part film Kill Bill (2003/2004). He expressed interest in having Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua join the film; Fuqua considered directing Sony's Marvel-based film Morbius (2022), and would decide on directing Kraven based on the script.[31] Sony confirmed that a film featuring Kraven was in development in March 2019.[32]

Jon Watts, the director of Homecoming and its sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), expressed interest in featuring Kraven in a potential third Spider-Man film set within the MCU;[33] Watts pitched a film pitting Peter Parker / Spider-Man against Kraven to Spider-Man star Tom Holland, but this idea was abandoned in favor of the story of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).[34] By August 2020, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway had re-written the script, after doing uncredited rewrites for Morbius.[35][36] At that time, J. C. Chandor entered talks to direct the film,[35] while Matt Tolmach, Avi Arad, and David Householter were set as producers.[35][37] Chandor was confirmed as director in May 2021, when Aaron Taylor-Johnson was cast to star as Kraven,[6] and signed on to portray the character in multiple films.[6] Sony had previously approached actors such as Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, John David Washington and Adam Driver for the role,[38] but Sony executives moved quickly to cast Taylor-Johnson after they were "blow[n] away" by early footage of him in the film Bullet Train (2022). Taylor-Johnson began negotiations shortly after an initial phone call with Chandor and Tolmach.[39][40][41] By July, Jodie Turner-Smith was reportedly in talks to portray Kraven's love interest, Calypso.[42] That October, Holland said he and Pascal had discussed him potentially reprising his role as Spider-Man in the film.[43]

The film was greenlit with a production budget of $90 million, but due to the 2023 writers and actors strike the costs increased.[2] The final cost was reportedly as high $130 million but Variety disputed this figure, estimating it cost "upward of $110 million".[3]

Pre-production

Russell Crowe was cast in an undisclosed role in early February 2022. The Hollywood Reporter noted that many of the main characters in the film would be members of Kraven's family, with Crowe potentially portraying Kraven's father.[19] By then, Kodi Smit-McPhee had been offered the role of Chameleon, Kraven's half-brother, but declined due to a scheduling conflict.[44] Turner-Smith was also confirmed to have not been cast as Calypso.[45] Later in February, Fred Hechinger joined the cast, reportedly as Chameleon.[14] In March, Ariana DeBose joined the cast, reportedly in the Calypso role,[12] Alessandro Nivola was cast as a villain,[46] and Christopher Abbott was cast as the film's main villain, which was reported to be the Foreigner.[18] Nivola said he joined the film to work with Chandor again after A Most Violent Year (2014).[47] Taylor-Johnson was preparing for stunt training with Chandor in England, just outside of London, for the following couple of weeks.[48]

Filming

Filming occurred in Iceland in early February 2022,[49][50] at Lake Mývatn, using the working title Safari.[49] TrueNorth Productions handled the production services,[49][51] with an 80-person crew involved in the shooting over two days.[49] Principal photography began on March 20, 2022,[52] in London, England, under the working title Spiral.[53] Ben Davis served as cinematographer after doing so for several MCU films.[50][54][better source needed] Levi Miller joined the cast in April,[55] and DeBose confirmed that she was portraying Calypso in the film a month later when she had already been filming in London.[13] In mid-June, Taylor-Johnson revealed that he had wrapped filming and stated that the film was shot entirely on location,[10] which he said "add[ed] something really beautiful" to the personal story, and called it important for the authenticity of the character.[41] Nivola also wrapped filming at that time,[56] and said the characters' physical abilities in the film were grounded in reality, while Chandor described it as depicting the "most incredible Olympic athlete you've ever seen".[47] Filming also took place in Glasgow, Scotland.[50]

Post-production

In August 2022, Nivola revealed that the film would include a time jump and that his character would physically transform in the third act, for which he did not use any visual effects. He described it as a "classic villain role" with "complex psychology and personal history to draw on".[47] The following month, Hechinger confirmed that he was portraying Dmitri Smerdyakov / Chameleon.[15] Later in September, the film's release date was delayed to October 6, 2023, from January 13, 2023.[57] In April 2023, Crowe and Nivola were confirmed to be respectively portraying Kraven's father and the character Rhino. Taylor-Johnson confirmed that the film would receive an R rating by the Motion Picture Association, the first SSU film and the first Spider-Man related project overall to do so.[58][16] In July, the film's release date was delayed to August 30, 2024, due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[59] In August 2023, the film's final writing credits were given: Wenk received sole credit for the story and shared credit for the screenplay with Marcum and Holloway, while off-screen additional literary credit was given to Donny Cates, Chris Bremner, Chandor, Adamma Ebo, Adanne Ebo, Zak Olkewicz, and Oren Uziel.[60]

In April 2024, the film's release date was further delayed to December 13, 2024,[61] to avoid competition from other franchise films releasing around the prior August date. Tolmach also attributed the release delay as a strategic reflection of Sony's excitement for the film.[62] Chandor felt that the delays allowed him to "sharpen" the characters and "tighten" the plot, deeming the reshoots strategic and effective. Despite the disastrous underperformance of Madame Web (2024), Sony felt optimistic that Kraven the Hunter would be more in line with the Venom films, with Chandor opining that the film would surprise the audience once it releases.[63] Craig Wood serves as the film's editor.[64]

Music

Benjamin Wallfisch was hired in June 2023 to compose the score for the film.[65] On December 10, 2024, Evgueni and Sacha Galperine were confirmed as co-composers.[66] The soundtrack album was released on December 13, 2024.[67]

Marketing

Sony debuted the first footage from the film in a "show reel" of the studio's upcoming films at CinemaCon in April 2022.[68] The first trailer was showcased during Sony's panel at CinemaCon in April 2023.[16] On June 19, 2023, the trailer leaked online and was subsequently followed by the official poster and a red band trailer the same day.[69][70][37] The second trailer was released on August 14, 2024, featuring the song "The Man Comes Around" (2002) by Johnny Cash. Ellise Shafer of Variety said Kraven "shows no mercy" in the trailer with his gruesome methods, feeling it "transforms [Kraven] from your average hitman into the fur-wearing baddie" the character is known as in the comics.[71] In November, a commercial aired during the 2024 NFL season featuring members of the Baltimore Ravens, particularly kicker Justin Tucker who suggested renaming the team the "Baltimore Kravens".[72] Sony Pictures released the first eight minutes of the film on its YouTube channel on December 2. Bradley Russell at Total Film felt releasing the footage for free a week ahead of the film's release was a surprise, but also believed it was a "bold tactic that might just sell" audiences to watch the film.[73]

Release

Kraven the Hunter was theatrically released in the United States on December 13, 2024, in IMAX and premium large formats (PLFs).[61] It was previously scheduled for January 13, 2023,[6] October 6, 2023,[57] and August 30, 2024.[59]

Reception

Box office

In Thursday night previews on December 12, 2024, Kraven the Hunter has grossed $2 million in the United States and Canada, for a worldwide total of $2 million.[74] [4]

In the United States and Canada, Kraven the Hunter is projected to gross $13–15 million from 3,200 theaters in its opening weekend.[2]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 14% of 80 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.8/10.[75] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 33 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.[76]

Lyvie Scott of Inverse wrote, "A clunky, crowded script, muddy visual effects, and glaringly obvious ADR bog down a promising premise. It's not camp enough to become a cult classic, and it lacks the conviction to carry its most ambitious ideas to the finish line."[77] The Daily Telegraph's Tim Robey gave it 1/5 stars, writing, "Last orders can't come soon enough for the whole parade of supervillains, superheroes, or however they're now choosing to identify. This is rock bottom."[78] Ian Freer of Empire gave it 2/5 stars, writing, "This all feels a long way from Chandor's glory days of Margin Call and All Is Lost. Save the occasional flourish, Kraven the Hunter is limp, tired, uninvolving superhero fare."[79] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian also gave it 2/5 stars, saying that Chandor "does a serviceable job, but the delirious craziness that once made the superhero genre so watchable is not really in evidence. Kraven is a so-so character in a so-so film and the superhero revival is as far away as ever."[80]

The A.V. Club's Jesse Hassenger gave the film a B- grade, writing, "while all of the previous movies in this barely-series seemed scrambled together in a panic, Chandor's movie seems scrambled together with a great deal of confidence and a bit of style."[81]

Future

J. C. Chandor was open to making a film series centered on the character, with the final installment to be based on Kraven's Last Hunt. "It's obviously very tragic and sad... but the character we're trying to create is one who could realistically, if this film is a success, end with Last Hunt.[82] Similarly, Aaron Taylor-Johnson expressed interest in a Sinister Six crossover movie.[83] In December 2024, following the projected financial failure of the film, it was reported that Kraven the Hunter would be the final film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, ending any chance for a sequel.[5][84]
