A new international poster for Sony’s Kraven the Hunter has been released. It has been confirmed that the film will receive a theatrical release in mainland China, closely coordinated with its North American and international rollouts. Check out the poster below.
According to Variety, Kraven the Hunter will be released in Chinese theaters on Saturday, December 14, one day after its U.S. release. Additionally, the international campaign will kick off on December 11 at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Film Festival.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Director J.C. Chandor asks fans to give Kraven the Hunter a chance to build the SSU. Chandor said, “I don’t want to get too into the nitty-gritty of it, but here’s what I would say: for me as a filmmaker, my number one goal—especially, quite frankly, over the last couple of years where you guys are deep in this world—is to move forward. Some of the fans out there—a lot of the fans—were upset with certain decisions and certain outcomes [of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe].” Chandor added, “Then with other films, they’ve gone on to be tremendous successes. So there’s been—there’s been a mixed success rate. People have got to give us a chance and come out and support this film—and literally try to wash away some of the other stuff that’s happened. Give our film a chance.”
In Kraven the Hunter, Kraven (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is recruited by Calypso (Ariana DeBose) to stop a corrupt magnate named Gregory Herd (Alessandro Nivola) from doing something bad called the Gathering of the Five. Herd hires two people, the Foreigner and the Chameleon (Fred Hechinger), to stop Kraven. Later, Kraven finds out that the Chameleon is his brother, and their father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe), is the real villain and Herd’s boss. Calypso also works for Nikolai and tricks Kraven so that Nikolai can sacrifice him. But then Calypso falls in love with Kraven and helps him fight Nikolai.
Directed by Chandor from a screenplay by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, and Richard Wenk.
Produced by Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and David Householter, with production companies including Columbia Pictures, Marvel Entertainment, TSG Entertainment, and Arad Productions.
Kraven the Hunter will be released in the United States on December 13, 2024, by Sony Pictures Releasing.
