The son of a Russian crime boss who was mauled on a hunting trip, saved by a potion, and became the best hunter alive out of spite.
Kraven the Hunter is the last film Sony made in this line and the most conventional. Sergei Kravinoff survives a lion attack as a boy, is given a mixture that saves him and changes him, and grows up to hunt criminals, starting with his own family’s.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays it seriously. The film is a revenge thriller with an origin attached, and it is the closing entry in a shelf that never found the shape it wanted.
