Kraven the Hunter is a 2024 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character. It is the sixth film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU). Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as Kraven, alongside Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, Christopher Abbott, and Russell Crowe. Directed by J.C. Chandor and written by Richard Wenk, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, the film explores Kraven's relationship with his father and his path to becoming the greatest hunter.
Kraven was considered for film appearances several times before Sony Pictures became interested in a standalone film for the character, as part of its new shared universe, in mid-2017. Wenk was hired in August 2018, and Chandor entered negotiations to direct in August 2020, and was confirmed in May 2021 when Taylor-Johnson was cast. Filming took place from late March until mid-June in London, Iceland, and Glasgow.
