KRAVEN THE HUNTER Director Teases the Film Will Have a Tragic Ending

According to Kraven The Hunter director J.C. Chandor, the film isn’t going to be your average superhero film, and I think fans got a sense of that with the trailer that has been released. This movie is going to be a brutally savage R-rated comic book film, and one thing that the filmmaker wants to point out in a recent interview, is that it doesn’t have a happy ending.

While talking with Esquire, Chandor teased that the ending of the film is going to be tragic. He said:

"Sony probably doesn’t want me to lead with this, but the story is a tragedy. When the final credits roll on this film, if you’ve been paying attention, you won’t have the feeling that this is all going to end great."

This is Kraven’s origin story long before Kraven and Spider-Man face off. It’s about young Sergei’s relationship with his gangster father (Russell Crowe). In Kraven the Hunter, Russian immigrant Sergei Kravinoff is on a mission to prove that he is the greatest hunter in the world. Aaron Taylor-Johnson called the project “a Marvel movie grounded heavily in the real world. We know he is a fierce hunter, a highly trained killer.”

The script for the film was written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man), and it also stars Ariana DeBose as Calypso, Russell Crowe as Nikolai Kravinoff, Fred Hechinger as Chameleon, Alessandro Nivola as an unknown villain, Levi Miller, and Catch-22 star Christopher Abbott as the main villain, The Foreigner.

Kraven the Hunter is set to hit theaters on August 30, 2024. I’m hoping this movie turns out good!
