Despite initially set to lead the charge for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe in the summer, Kraven the Hunter’s release date has been delayed. The next installment in the SSU will explore the origin story of its titular Spider-Man villain as he discovers his ability to communicate with animals and uses it to hunt down his criminal father after being left for dead during a hunt. Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads the Kraven the Hunter cast alongside Russell Crowe, Ariana Debose, Fred Hechinger, Christopher Abbott, Alessandro Nivola and Levi Miller.
Sony Pictures has announced that Kraven the Hunter’s release date has been delayed. The latest installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe was originally set for an August 30 premiere and will now hit theaters on December 13, nearly a full four months after its prior date. This now puts the movie’s release after fellow SSU title Venom: The Last Dance, which is currently set for an October 25 release.
