The new movie Kraven the Hunter has just dropped its trailer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is taking center stage as the main character. The movie, which comes from Sony Pictures, is stirring up quite the excitement with its fresh sneak peek.
Directed by J.C. Chandor, this action-packed movie is set to hit the cinemas on December 13, 2024, and stars other big names like Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott and Russell Crowe.
Kraven the Hunter brings to life the story of a well-known villain from the Spider-Man comics that first appeared in 1964. In the film, Aaron Taylor-Johnson portrays Sergei Kravinoff, a man who faces a life-or-death situation when his own father, played by Crowe, leaves him to die following a lion attack.

Miraculously, Sergei survives and gains superpowers from the lion's bite. He then becomes Kraven the Hunter, a man who decides to use his new violent capabilities to protect animals.
New glimpses of Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s raw power in Kraven the Hunter preview
In the trailer, Taylor-Johnson’s character makes it clear his mission is to remove evil from the world, a job he believes his father is contributing to. It’s a classic tale of good versus evil, mixed with the complexity of family relationships and burden of newfound powers.
The excitement doesn't stop there. The previous trailer wrapped up with a sneak peek of Alessandro Nivola as Aleksei Sytsevich, also known as the Rhino, another notorious character from the comics.
In the latest trailer, there’s more coverage of Nivola, including a glimpse of what seems to be an epic confrontation between Rhino and Kraven in a setting that looks much like the African savannah.
What's captivating about the new trailer is not just the intensified action and suspense but also the fact that it showcases Taylor-Johnson’s impressive physical shape, as he'a seen shirtless and more powerful than ever.
The background score, a simpler version of Johnny Cash’s The Man Comes Around, adds a hauntingly optimistic tone to the clip, making it even more memorable.
