Much to everyone’s surprise, Sony Pictures recently released the Kraven the Hunter trailer. Marvel comic book fans already know that Kraven the Hunter is an antihero, similar to Venom, Morbius, and many more. If Kraven is the protagonist, who’s he taking on in the upcoming movie, then? Who will be the main villain in Sony’s Kraven the Hunter?
Who Is the Villain in Kraven the Hunter?
The Foreigner is the main villain in the Kraven the Hunter movie, but the titular antihero will face several bad guys.
According to Deadline, The Foreigner will be the Kraven the Hunter movie villain.
Created by writer Peter David and artist Alan Kupperberg, The Foreigner might not be as popular as other Spider-Man villains like Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, or Venom, but for sure he was a thorn in Peter Parker’s side in several storylines since his first appearance in The Spectacular Spider-Man #116 in July 1986. His origin story and real name are still shrouded in mystery, but he acts like a highly skilled mercenary and assassin known for his strategic planning. While he has no superhuman abilities, he is a formidable hand-to-hand fighter, among other things.
In Kraven the Hunter, Christopher Abbott is set to portray The Foreigner. Abbott’s credits include HBO’s Girls, A Most Violent Year (2014), Catch-22, and more. One of The Foreigner’s notable storylines involves his rivalry with the assassin known as the Chameleon, who also has connections to Spider-Man in addition to being Kraven’s half-brother.
The titular antihero portrayed by Aaron Taylor Johnson will have a lot on his plate in the upcoming R-rated movie. Besides The Foreigner and Chameleon, Kraven must watch his back from Rhino (Alessandro Nivola). Judging from the images, it appears the iconic villain will have a different origin story and transformation than in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Is it possible that they’ll eventually team up to form the Sinister Six? Fans must wait until October 6, 2023, to find the answer.
