Aaron Taylor-Johnson has sparked curiosity among movie-goers with his cryptic comment about his movie, Kraven the Hunter: “Yes, it is going to be rated R”. A look at the trailer explains just why this film has been rated R – for its explicit violence, blood and gore which will turn even a braveheart’s stomach upside down. Sony Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter is expected to be released on October 6 and is already gaining notoriety for being Sony Marvel’s first R-rated film.The focus is on Kraven, one of the most notorious anti-heroes to populate Spider-Man’s universe. He has had menacing encounters with Venom and Black Panther in previous films. This, most dreaded of all villains has Russell Crowe for his father who tells him in a voice-over during the trailer: “We are predators”. Another scene shows him teaching his son Kraven how to feel the spirit of a dead crow.
The first scene itself in the trailer is gory – Kraven is shown fighting and finishing off a band of Australian mercenaries by stabbing them mercilessly in the neck. He even bites off a nose with disdain – all this with another voice in the backdrop saying ominously that there is an animal in each one of us.

Take Kraven on, if you can. You have till October to build up your defences.
