Well, it seems like the time for Morbius 2 is here. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson starring in the lead role, the trailer for the upcoming Kraven the Hunter was recently released. With much hype, Sony Entertainment tried its level best to make up for the disastrous Morbius.
The teaser was brutally trolled, however, as Kraven, the Hunter allegedly copied the origin of his superpowers from Spider-Man! With hilarious tweets and embarrassing throwbacks, people took to Twitter to essentially roast the trailer all the while afraid of another failure just like Sony’s Morbius.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter Gets Hunted By Fans!
The trailer for Sony’s upcoming Kraven the Hunter featured everything that went wrong with Morbius. From showcasing some car chases and action scenes, the movie quickly cuts to a sad backstory of the protagonist or the antagonist, in this case.

Following the story of a psychotic father who forces his sons to be stronger, Kraven the Hunter goes on a lion hunt along with his father. During the hunt, a lion bites Kraven and leaves him to die but the child finds the powers of an “apex predator” due to the lion bite. The origin of power sounds like something very similar to what Sony had done in the early 2000s and fans cannot get enough of it.
People took to Twitter to talk about the latest Kraven the Hunter trailer, how Aaron Taylor-Johnson looked in the movie, and how the fear of a new Morbius-like movie is just around the corner.
Look, I GET it. There’s way more sense in #Kraven being empowered/a metahuman to take on foes like Spider-Man, but for him to get “ApEX PrEDAtoR” powers from a lion’s bite and some blood?!?!

When I was a child I thought that if dog hair gets in my bloodstream I would get dog powers. Kraven’s that The Movie.

This was way different that what the comic books say since in the comics, Sergei Kravinoff was just a simple human who was really great at hunting. He later found a witch who gave him a herbal potion that gave Kravinoff the strength, speed, and senses of a jungle cat.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson Did Not Audition For Kraven the Hunter
With the star recently appearing in Bullet Train, fans have quite a liking for Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Portraying the role of Kraven the Hunter, Taylor-Johnson talked about how after the fame he received in Bullet Train, he did not have a need to audition!
“The first one [takes off hat]…Sorry, my hair’s blond right now. It’s quite shocking. The first one was Kraven, Marvel’s new antihero in the Spider-Man Universe. With Bullet Train, there was an auditioning process, screen test, and many different things to get through. And then out came the offer for Kraven [without any audition]. That was special. I shot that last year with Russell Crowe, who was brilliant.”
With roasts, fear, and hilarious memes, Sony’s Kraven the Hunter is set for a release date of 6th October 2023 in theaters across the U.S.
