During the presentation at the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino, Sony announced that the film will be R-rated: “F*** yeah, it will be rated R.” The first R-rated Marvel film that Sony is producing features a lot of blood in the new trailer.
The trailer begins with Kraven (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) stopping some Australian poachers/mercenaries in the forest. while Kraven kills everyone like hunting animals using his weapons and hands. Also, he bites a poacher and spits out part of his skin towards the camera, crawls around walls, and pounces on foes like an animal. Kraven’s father (played by Russell Crowe) is trying to teach him to respect the world around him, and it also features a young Kraven feeling the spirit of a dead cow. Crowe says, “We are predators.” It also shows Ariana DeBose, who plays Calypso, telling Kraven, “You’re a goddamn lunatic!”
