Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter, has never appeared on the big screen before, so whoever gets the role will be the first live-action version of the classic Marvel villain. Created by Stan Lee and
Steve Ditko, Sergei is a hunter who becomes obsessed with proving he’s better than Spider-Man. He finally gets his victory in the critically-acclaimed story “Karven’s Last Hunt,” after which he takes his own life. His family brought him back to life using blood magic in the story “Grim Hunt.”

A quick glance at the Better Call Saul actor makes it obvious that he looks the part, and his work with the Deadpool movies proves he’s no stranger to a Russian accent. But will Sony throw a net on Kapičić , or does the studio have someone else in mind? The yet-titled Kraven the Hunter movie is still in the very early stages of development, so it could be some time before fans get concrete news about the comic book movie.
Kraven the Hunter currently does not have a director or release date.
