Kraven the Hunter star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is prepared to battle Spider-Man, hinting at an exciting crossover film that combines Sony's new Spider-Man villain project with the Web-Head. The upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie will join the ranks of Sony Spider-Man universe films, including Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Morbius, all centered around Spider-Man's adversaries. Similar to Venom and Morbius, it appears that Kraven will initially be portrayed as an anti-hero rather than a traditional villain.
While it remains uncertain if Spider-Man will make an appearance in Kraven the Hunter, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson (@aarontaylorjohnson) recently generated speculation and excitement for a potential Spider-Man vs. Kraven crossover. He shared a cryptic Instagram stories post celebrating the release of the film's first trailer.
The Kraven the Hunter trailer does not directly mention Spider-Man or provide any clues about an immediate Spider-Man appearance. As a result, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's statement of "Spider-Man... I'm coming for you" becomes the most significant hint of a potential Spider-Man vs. Kraven crossover. This could potentially occur in the Kraven the Hunter film itself or, more likely, in a future project within Sony's Spider-Man universe.
Why Kraven’s Last Hunt Is Better Than A Sinister Six Movie
The connection between Sony's Spider-Man villain films and Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies is still uncertain. Hints from Venom 2, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Morbius imply that these Sony villain movies exist in a separate universe from the MCU. Additionally, it is conceivable that the "Venomverse" could introduce its own version of Spider-Man, particularly considering that Kraven the Hunter's Rhino does not belong to Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man universe.
A Kraven's Last Hunt adaptation would provide an ideal opportunity to pit the hero against Kraven, regardless of which Spider-Man is involved. Although "Spider-Man vs. Sinister Six" was somewhat explored in No Way Home, there has yet to be a live-action meeting between Kraven and Peter Parker. It would be even more compelling if Tom Holland's Spider-Man could interact with Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven, potentially incorporating multiverse elements.
