Kraven the Hunter is an action-packed, R-rated origin story from MCU, showcasing one of comics's most notorious antiheroes. The movie is directed by J.C. Chandor and set in Sony's Marvel universe. Kraven the Hunter features Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Sergei Kravinoff, a hunter who embarks on a journey of vengeance which was created by a strange relationship he had with his gangster father, Nikolai Kravinoff, portrayed by Russell Crowe. The movie paves the path for Sergei's evolution into Kraven, the world's most feared hunter across Marvel’s universe.

The cast for the movie includes Ariana DeBose as Calypso, Fred Hechinger as Chameleon, Alessandro Nivola, and Christopher Abbott. The storyline for the movie has been based on the Marvel Comics, with the screenplay done by Richard Wenk, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway.


Who is Rhino in Kraven The Hunter?


In Kraven The Hunter, the role of Rhino is shown to be a formidable adversary for the titular character. His character was teased to the audience in the trailer of the movie where he dramatically showcases his power, by stopping a jeep with sheer strength and confronting Kraven in an action sequence. This version of Rhino shows a more literal representation of the animalistic traits he symbolizes. This version of the character deviates from the mechanized version seen in Sony’s previous Marvel Universe movie “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”. According to the comics, Aleksei Sytsevich, the character behind Rhino, undergoes a transformation, which makes his body turn into a tough, grey, rhino-like exterior, making him a nearly unstoppable force of nature.
