Part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU)

Plot Summary (Official Teaser Insight):

Kraven, one of Marvel’s most iconic antiheroes and known as a relentless predator, is not born a villain—but forged into one. The film explores his origin story as a noble but brutal hunter, born from royalty but cast into survival by the wilderness and his fractured family. Unlike traditional adaptations, this version of Kraven is deeply connected to animals, drawing strength and instincts from nature.

Set before he ever crosses paths with Spider-Man, this standalone tale dives into Kraven’s rise to power, his family legacy, and his eventual hunt for the most dangerous prey—which may hint at Spider-Man’s future involvement.

Notable Elements:

• Rated R – Sony’s first Marvel film to receive this rating for intense violence and dark themes

• “Kraven is an animal lover and protector of the natural world… a very different kind of Marvel character.” – Aaron Taylor-Johnson

• Part of the same universe as Venom, Morbius, and the upcoming Madame Web

Taglines (Unofficial):

“The greatest hunt begins within.”
“He’s not a hero. He’s a force of nature.”
