Kraven the Hunter is now a contender for the most violent comic book movie of all time – and we're not exaggerating.
The first seven minutes of the film and an additional fight scene were shown behind closed doors at New York Comic Con – presented by director J. C. Chandor and star Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The opening sequence sees Sergei Kravinoff aka Kraven escape from prison (and use his superhuman strength and agility to scale some walls and bust some faces.
In the second clip, a group of baddies set out to hunt down Kraven, but little do they know...they're the ones being hunted. Kraven lays out a series of traps, and someone takes a beartrap to the face, with another thug getting split in half by being swung by chains into a giant rock. I wish you could've heard the audience screaming.
Per the official logline, "Kraven shares a complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff. This sets him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared."
