Alessandro Nivola Cast as the Villain in KRAVEN THE HUNTER
The Many Saints Of Newark star Alessandro Nivola has joined the cast of Sony Pictures’ upcoming Marvel movie Kraven the Hunter. Nivola will take on the role of the lead villain, but we have no idea who that villain will be. I mean, technically Kraven is the villain! He’s Spider-Man’s villain! So it will be interesting to see who the villain of the villain will be.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to play Kraven and the cast also includes Ariana DeBose as Calypso, Russell Crowe as Nikolai Kravinoff, and Fred Hechinger as Chameleon.
J.C. Chandor is directing the pic with Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach producing. The script for the film is being written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man). The initial draft of the script was written by Richard Wenk.
Nivola is also starring David O Russell’s next movie which includes Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, Robert DeNiro, Rami Malek, and Anya Taylor Joy. He also stars opposite Alison Brie in Jeff Baena’s comedy Spin Me Round, and he just wrapped the 20th Century pic Boston Strangler starring opposite Keira Knightly.
