Kraven the Hunter is an upcoming American superhero film which is directed by J. C. Chandor. The film is based on a Marvel character with the same name. The movie is set to be produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. Many might think of it as an MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) film, however, in actuality, the film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson is all set to be the sixth film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU).

After much desire to make Kraven the character do a cameo in various previous SSU films, the makers finally decided to give the character its own movie. American filmmaker J. C. Chandor was finalized as the film’s director in May 2021 and then Johnson was finalized for portraying the titular role of Kraven in the upcoming superhero movie.

Yes, Russell Crowe is set to play Nikolai Kravinoff, Kraven Hunter’s estranged father because of which Kraven turns into a villain. Kravinoff was a Russian mafia lord and hunter, as well as Sergei Kravinoff and Dmitri Smerdyakov's father.
