Aaron Taylor-Johnson Transforms Into Marvel’s Fiercest Anti-Hero in “Kraven the Hunter”

Discover Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s transformation into Marvel’s iconic anti-hero in Kraven the Hunter! The visceral action film hits Philippine cinemas on December 11.

The wait is almost over for Marvel fans! Sergei Kravinoff—better known as Kraven the Hunter —is finally making his big-screen debut. Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson dives deep into the making of this complex character in an all-new behind-the-scenes vignette titled “Making of a Villain.”

“This is Sergei Kravinoff becoming Kraven,” Taylor-Johnson shares as he reveals the grueling process of preparing for the role. From barefoot sprints across London’s cobblestone streets to gravity-defying wall flips, the actor’s commitment to bringing Kraven to life is unparalleled.

“I’m so lucky I get to do the stunts. Old school, real, raw, barefoot running through the streets of London. Doing flips and running off the wall, because you needed to have that kind of authenticity,” Taylor-Johnson continues. “He’s [Kraven’s] not a superhero. He’s a man who’s been trained and is a skilled hunter and killer.”

A Glimpse Into Kraven’s Dark Origins

Director J.C. Chandor offers more insight into Kraven’s psyche, describing him as a character driven by both tragedy and bloodlust. “There was some element of bloodlust that he [Kraven] seems to love,” Chandor says. “There was a justification for it, and that feels good. But he is also this very inconsistent, ethically compromised individual, but yet, still, you’re rooting for him.”

The film chronicles the journey of Kraven, a man haunted by his brutal upbringing under the watchful eye of his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff (played by Russell Crowe). This traumatic past ignites a path of vengeance, pushing Sergei to become one of the world’s most feared hunters—and one of Marvel’s most iconic anti-heroes.
