Aaron Taylor-Johnson has shared his thoughts on the possibility of Kraven the Hunter facing Spider-Man in future films. In a recent interview, the actor explained how the character’s journey in Kraven the Hunter sets him up as a powerful villain. This opens the door for potential superhero confrontations later. Taylor-Johnson’s comments contribute to the ongoing conversation about the direction of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe and Kraven’s role in it.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson says Kraven should fight Marvel superheroes like Spider-Man
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who plays the titular character in Kraven the Hunter, discussed the possibility of Kraven facing Spider-Man and other superheroes in future projects. In an interview with Screen Rant, he said, “I think he should go toe-to-toe with some superheroes that we know.” He also explained that the film develops a “really rich character” with the potential for further growth.
Taylor-Johnson referenced the comic storyline Kraven’s Last Hunt, saying, “One of my favorite stories is Kraven’s Last Hunt. It was one of the source materials I used to go back from. He’s got some dark demons there and we are basically showing the birth of that and how he becomes a villain that we then come to know.”
The comments seem to indicate that Kraven’s arc in the film will establish him as a villain, not an antihero like Venom or Morbius. This could potentially lead to confrontations with Spider-Man or other superheroes in future films.
However, no official plans for these encounters have been confirmed. Kraven’s Last Hunt shows Kraven defeating Spider-Man and briefly taking his place, a potential storyline for later films. For this to occur, Sony would need to introduce Spider-Man into their universe.
Although Sony has not revealed specific plans for Spider-Man’s involvement, Taylor-Johnson’s comments seem to suggest future conflicts between Kraven and well-known superheroes. The success of Kraven the Hunter and the eventual inclusion of Spider-Man in Sony’s franchise will determine whether these conflicts happen.
