Keanu Reeves Is Rumored To Land The Role Of Kraven In Spider-Man Spin-Off

Keanu Reeves’s hot streak may be continuing as the rumor mill is churning again as a report hailing from The Illuminerdi claims that Keanu Reeves has officially been offered the role of Kraven the Hunter in his own solo film.

Born Sergei Kravinoff, Kraven the Hunter is

“a Russian immigrant whose aristocratic family fled to America following the Russian Revolutions. With intensive training and the help of a potion that gave him superhuman abilities, including increased strength, speed, reflexes, and enhanced senses, Kraven became a fearsome big-game hunter who tackled the most dangerous game on the planet, preferably with his bare hands. Kraven is also one of Spider-Man’s most famous villains, and, in one of his most memorable comic-book stories, “Kraven’s Last Hunt,” even defeats Spider-Man by seemingly killing him and burying him. Kraven then assumed Spider-Man’s identity by donning his own Spidey outfit and set out to prove himself superior at his former adversaries’ own game.”

Back in August, Deadline first reported that Sony is looking to give the classic Spider-Man villain, Kraven the Hunter, his very own film.
