Aaron-Taylor Johnson as Sergei in Kraven the Hunter
Fans concerned that Kraven the Hunter may be lacking the R-rated and hard-hitting violence we all expect from the character can rest easy, following the reveal of some action scenes at NYCC this weekend. While the footage of the scene can't be viewed by anyone who wasn't there, luckily Collider's Therese Lacson was in the room to report back for us on what fans saw.
In a scene that can only be described as creatively violent, Kraven uses everything at his disposal to kill the men. From throwing bear traps at a man's face so it can clamp it down, to literally sawing a man in two, to some of the most gruesome booby traps you'll ever see, Kraven is kind of an artist when it comes to killing people. The scene is immensely violent, earning the film's R rating.
Tolmach told Collider that pushing the movie back from its scheduled release date was simply a matter of strategy rather than anything more sinister. As he explained, the film was just keen to avoid too much competition in terms of superhero releases. As it is, the film will now go head-to-head with Wicked and Mufasa: The Lion King on either side of its release date, but given neither of those movies will be full of blood, gore, and humanoid Rhinos, it should be a good alternative.
Kraven the Hunter will open in theaters on December 13. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on the film and all of Sony's Marvel projects as well as more updates from NYCC.
