The film is under development at Sony. Directed by J. C. Chandor from a screenplay by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway.

During a chat with ComicBook.com on a press tour for Bullet Train, Taylor-Johnson was asked, Will Kraven still have that “big-ass lion’s mane” in the movie? Taylor-Johnson replied, “I can’t confirm any details or anything.” Taylor-Johnson added, “And also, I guess that was probably a little taken out of context and then run. I mean, I think you know what I meant what really stated was that he was a protector of the natural world I said and he’s a conservationist, which is probably more accurate, and then should have stopped there, full stop, shouldn’t have gone on beyond that because, yeah I think you know you really got to understand, yeah, he is a hunter and from that world of hunting and there are so many aspects.”

He added, “What I love about that character is that what is he humanizing is that he has flaws, right? Kraven is a beautiful character. Sergei Kravinov is a beautiful character because he’s someone who’s really understanding themselves and has flaws. This is a character that was built ages ago and it’s in a new time and era, but yeah, is he going to be the hunter that we all want to see? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.” Watch the trailer below.
