Filming is set to continue in London on March 26-27.
First look at Kraven the Hunter in action
Since the comics depict Kraven as a big game hunter who wears furs and skins, how Sony intends to adapt the character for today has been the subject of speculation. While fans don’t yet know what the studio has planned for her look and costume, these videos from set show off some of her potential powers in action.
According to the comics, Kraven possesses a variety of superhuman abilities. Among them are enhanced senses such as sight, hearing, and smell, just like an animal.

While this footage only shows a few moments of an action sequence, it’s worth noting that the stuntman’s body language and movements are animal quality. Maybe Sony intends to lean on Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven as a wild predator as opposed to a big game hunter?
As production continues, fans can expect to see and learn more about this film. And once Morbius premieres in theaters on April 1, audiences should have a better idea of how Sony intends to handle its wall-crawler spinoff and whether a Spider-Man star will play a part in this adjacent universe.
Kraven the hunter is set to debut in theaters on January 13, 2023.
