What’s The Plotting Of “Kraven Hunter”?
The story follows the titular character’s tragic past. He was able to defeat his arch-nemesis Spider-Man when they fought in 1962 but since then has become a recluse. He becomes a recluse because his father, Sergei Kravinoff, is a man of questionable moral character and has connections to crime bosses.
The film will explore why the villain’s son (Kraven) would turn out so horribly evil.
The director, J.C. Chandor, was inspired by the works of author J.D Salinger (author of “The Catcher in the Rye”). This novel focuses on a 14-year-old boy who realizes that his father is a monster and attempts to figure out what he can do to make a difference before it’s too late.

The film will be based on a character who was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in the early 1960s.
The story follows Sergei Kravinoff (Kraven), a man who is known for his actions as Kraven the Hunter. Kraven is an antagonist of Spider-Man and other Marvel characters such as Daredevil and Doctor Strange.
He has many similarities to Batman’s nemesis, Slade Wilson, which he was made due to the fact that DC Comics wouldn’t allow Stan Lee to use Deathstroke in his stories.
