That is the take of British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who plays Kraven The Hunter in a film on the antagonist from the Spider-Man comic books
NEW YORK - Hot on the heels of the Venom film series (2018 to 2024) comes Kraven The Hunter, the live-action big-screen debut of another iconic antagonist from the Spider-Man comic books.
Sergei Kravinoff, also known as Kraven, is a big-game hunter who first appeared in a 1960s issue of Marvel's The Amazing Spider-Man comic, becoming one of the web-slinger's greatest adversaries because of his brutality and prowess.
The character gets a proper origin story with this new film, which stars British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the title role and opens in Singapore cinemas on Dec 12.
Australian star Russell Crowe (Gladiator, 2000) plays Sergei's father Nikolai Kravinoff, a ruthless gangster and crime lord whose tumultuous relationship with his son spurs the latter to become one of the world's greatest hunters.
Speaking at a fan convention in New York earlier in 2024, Taylor-Johnson - who headlined the Kick-Ass superhero comedies (2010 and 2013) - says there is no comic-book antihero quite like Kraven.
"He's got such an iconic image and he's just a very unique comic-book character.
