Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter Movie Cast: 7 Actors Confirmed to Appear

Sony Pictures is well on its way to bringing the next chapter in its Spider-Man universe with Kraven the Hunter, which features an all-star cast of characters and actors.

Sony's Spider-Man Universe has struggled to produce movies that consistently earn critical and financial acclaim, as most recently shown by the studio's most disappointing outing yet in Jared Leto's Morbius. But next year, the Sony team is hoping to change the narrative for the franchise thanks to the Kraven cast that will take center stage before 2023 comes to an end.

Kraven the Hunter will bring one of Spider-Man's most iconic antagonists to life in the form of Sergei Kravinoff, a Russian big game hunter who seeks out the web-slinger in order to become the world's greatest hunter in the comics. And just as Sony has done with its first three Spider-Man-adjacent movies, it looks to bring an all-star cast on board to help tell the popular villain's story effectively in his first big-screen appearance.

With all that being said, let's break down all seven actors that are confirmed to be part of the Kraven cast, along with the roles that are known.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven the Hunter

Taking on his second Marvel movie role after Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Aaron Taylor-Johnson will embody Sony's take on Kraven for the character's first solo movie. This will give the actor a chance to truly lead the way in his own big-screen adventure featuring a character that's been notably absent from past Marvel outings.

Although Kraven will be played a bit differently than fans expected for this movie, Taylor-Johnson made it clear that the hunter will still be true to his nature as a powerful mercenary who seeks to take down the most dangerous of prey.

Sony's Kraven the Hunter movie needs to refrain from having the same problem that Morbius and the Venom films both share in order to stand out.

Sony's Kraven the Hunter movie needs to avoid a common mistake found in the Venom and Morbius films and continues to be a trend in other blockbuster superhero outings. The next entry in Sony's Spider-Man Universe will feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson's titular character encountering a yet-to-be-confirmed antagonist after the critical and financial failure that was Morbius. While the theatrical release for Kraven is still a short while away, the expectations for the movie could be higher if Sony manages to differentiate the film from the other SSU entries in a critical way.

The overall reception for Sony's Spider-Man Universe has been mostly negative due to dated storytelling and visual effects among a flurry of other issues. Kraven the Hunter has a major villain problem due to plot details that have been revealed surrounding an unnamed villain going through a physical transformation toward the movie's finale. This critical problem contributes to another drastic issue that could define the execution of the overall story and antagonists despite early test screenings revealing it's a "pretty solid film".

Among some of the redundant issues with Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and Morbius, a common complaint about Sony's Spider-Man Universe is that all three films feature villains that are essentially copy-and-paste versions of the protagonists. The Life Foundation's Carlton Drake, who becomes the symbiote Riot, and Cletus Kasady's Carnage are almost exactly the same as Venom based on their appearances. Additionally, Milo has the same power set as his adoptive brother Michael Morbius along with a relatively similar look.

While the upcoming Venom 3 isn't the end of the SSU, Kraven the Hunter has an opportunity to rejuvenate the franchise should Kraven face an opponent that doesn't resemble his appearance or have a similar level of fighting skills. A way of approaching this that could work would be Kraven not having any personal connections to his enemy or enemies. Perhaps Kraven would even be hired to hunt someone down who is the polar opposite of him physically and characteristically.
