Who Is Rhino? Kraven Movie Brings Back Marvel Character That Failed 9 Years Ago
Rhino makes his partial debut in the first trailer for Kraven the Hunter, revealing a more comics-accurate take on the villain that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed 9 years ago. Kraven the Hunter will be the latest installment of Sony's universe of Marvel villains, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson leading the movie as Sergei Kravinoff. In Kraven the Hunter, after being nearly killed in a lion attack, Sergei gains superhuman abilities akin to those of an animal and becomes Kraven the Hunter.
While Sony's Venom movies and Morbius were all released with PG-13 ratings, Kraven the Hunter is the first to debut with a hard-R (and, in so doing, makes it more likely that Venom 3 will be R-rated itself). Kraven will not be the only Marvel antagonist in the movie, with Alessandro Nivola also appearing as Aleksei Sytsevich, a.k.a. the Rhino. Here is the Rhino's backstory and what his role in Kraven the Hunter could be.
