How Kraven the Hunter Actually Got His Powers in the Comics
Kraven the Hunter, also known as Sergei Kravinoff, comes straight from Marvel Comics and into live-action for the first time in Sony's first R-rated Marvel movie this October. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular hunter and directed by J. C. Chandor, who helms the film after impressive turns like Margin Call and A Most Violent Year, Kraven the Hunter puts the villain into an implied anti-hero position, which isn't entirely unheard of for his comic book counterpart.
Comrade and lover to Kraven the Hunter in his titular debut, the voodoo priestess Calypso will be portrayed by Academy Award winner Ariana Debose. With that character's inclusion sitting in proximity to Kraven's comic book origins, we have to ask — why the change? It's possible that the deviation is some first-trailer trickery, but it seems to be without any evident cause.
For the sake of musing, if Kraven the Hunter were to work a surprise Spider-Man into the mix, it would make the most sense for it to be Andrew Garfield. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 left so much untapped story by the wayside, and while No Way Home gave what's likely the only morsel of closure we'll get, everything would be better if Sony's Spider-Man Universe stayed as separate as possible from the MCU.
Tom Hardy's run as Venom, despite its faults, has been undeniably entertaining with some high highs, and the Jared Leto venture, Morbius ... is a movie. All of them, however, feel barren without the wall-crawler in their films. Sony is slowly building a greater connection between these projects, with Dakota Johnson leading Madame Web, based on the multiverse-inhabiting Spider-Man side-character who generally acts as a guide of sorts for Spidey's misadventures across new realms.
