Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, hit theatres on December 13, 2024, but its box office performance has been disappointing.
Directed by J.C. Chandor, the film explores the origin story of Sergei Kravinoff, a man driven by revenge and a complex relationship with his father, Nikolai Kravinoff (played by Russell Crowe).
Kraven the Hunter OTT Release Date and Streaming Platforms
The movie will be available on Netflix in the US following its theatrical run. Based on Sony’s past release timelines, Kraven the Hunter is expected to arrive on Netflix around April 2025.
Before that, it will be available for purchase or rental on digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video through PVOD (Premium Video on Demand), likely in February 2025.
Plot and Cast
Kraven the Hunter is a thrilling, action-packed origin story that showcases Kraven’s transformation into one of Marvel’s most feared villains.
The plot revolves around his tense relationship with his father and his journey to becoming the greatest hunter in the world. The cast includes:
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven
- Russell Crowe as Nikolai Kravinoff
- Ariana DeBose as Calypso

Box Office Performance
Despite high expectations, Kraven the Hunter struggled at the box office. It grossed only $11 million in North America and an additional $15 million internationally, totalling a disappointing $26 million worldwide during its opening weekend.
This is significantly lower than other Sony Spider-Verse films like Morbius and Madame Web.
Produced on a $130 million budget, the film faces challenges in recovering its costs.
