Sony has chosen Godzilla and Avengers: Age of Ultron star Aaron Taylor-Johnson as their Kraven the Hunter for the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off.
Interestingly, Pitt will star alongside Taylor-Johnson in director David Leitch’s Bullet Train, suggesting that the studio’s quest for a bit of Pitt in Kraven the Hunter may have led them to find their star.
But, it has now emerged that was not always going to be the case, with the studio offering the part to several other high-profile names including Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, John David Washington and Adam Driver.
Kraven the Hunter will follow the exploits of the Marvel character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for The Amazing Spider-Man #15 back in 1964.
