The team behind Kraven the Hunter has broken their silence on the real reason whySonydecided to push back the movie’s release date from summer to this winter: so that fans can enjoy the movie more over the snowy season.
“Kraven moved to Christmas because we’re excited about it, and Christmas is the best release period there is - when you get people with time to go back to the movies over and over again,” said producer Matt Tolmach in an interview withCollider, “That was a real reflection of how the studio felt about the movie. We’re really excited. But that’s a great move that reflects just the feeling about the movie.”
But who knows, maybe the tactical date will work for Kraven. The movie follows Taylor-Johnson as Russian autocratic turned people hunter Sergei Kravinoff, AKA Kraven, an infamous Marvel villain who first appeared in 1964’s Amazing Spider-Man #15. As per the official synopsis, the film will be set “before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man” and will tell “the visceral story of how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be.”
Alongside the Kick-Ass star, the cast also includes Ariana DeBose, Christopher Abbott, and Russell Crowe.
