The name Sergei Kravinoff may sound exciting to Marvel comics fans, but it probably won’t ring a bell to a wider audience. However, that may change in December following the arrival of a new film from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which will introduce a new formidable enemy for Peter Parker.
Kraven the Hunter is the alias of the aforementioned Sergei Kravinoff, who was brought to life in 1964 by Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko. In the comic books, he is a maniacal Russian big game hunter whose goal in life is to defeat Spider-Man and prove he is the greatest hunter in the world.
The film, made by Sony, will cover Kraven’s origin story. Interestingly, the character, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, will be very different from the comic book villain: he will not be an obsessive hunter, but a conservationist and animal lover. As you might expect, this radical change upset comic fans. However, it’s worth remembering that the film tells Kraven’s backstory – he may undergo a transformation to become more like his comic book prototype.
According to the filmmakers, Kraven the Hunter will be a family story mixed with a gangster story. If you want to get a taste of what’s coming to theaters in December, check out the film’s trailer:
When do Kraven the Hunter tickets go on sale?
The new film from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe will premiere in US and UK cinemas on Friday, December 13, 2024. According to rumors on social media, tickets for the film will be available on Friday November 29, 2024two weeks before the premiere of Kraven.
It may seem late, as tickets for Sony Universe’s previous installment, Venom: The Last Dance, went on sale more than three weeks before the film’s premiere. However, Sony can assume that the space parasite film was much more anticipated than the controversial film adaptation of the Kraven comics, whose premiere suffered several delays.
However, keep in mind that Sony is yet to confirm the aforementioned date.
