Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s antihero faces off against the Rhino in bloody new “Kraven the Hunter” trailer

Who says you can't use a bear trap as a weapon?

It’s huntin’ time.

Aaron Taylor Johnson’s antihero goes toe-to-toe against the fellow Spider-Man villain, the Rhino (Alessandro Nivola), in the bloody new trailer for Sony’s R-rated superhero film, Kraven the Hunter. The big game hunter, a.k.a Sergei Kravinoff, can be seen confronting his target from the top of a cargo truck in the clip, only for the Rhino to flip the vehicle and send Kraven rocketing into an active wildebeest stampede.

Nivola is set to play a sadistic new iteration of the Rhino — who was previously played by Paul Giamatti in 2014's Amazing Spider-Man 2 — in the upcoming film. And, unlike his predecessor who sported mechanized rhinocerous armor, this version of the Russian mercenary actually turns into a full rhino-man hybrid with impressive super-strength.

But the Rhino isn’t the only one on Kraven’s kill list. After escaping from prison, he can be seen embarking on a ruthless killing spree as he tosses bear traps onto people’s heads, snaps necks, and, at one point, absolutely obliterates a man by splitting him in half with a tree stump.

His loved ones, however, aren’t so taken by Kraven's penchant for vigilante justice. “You think you have some kind of honor. Some kind of code. You’re just another man hunting for a trophy,” his half-brother Dmitri (Fred Hechinger) sneers. “Just like our father.”

It’s a touchy subject for Kraven, who rebuked their father Nikolai (Russell Crowe) and his bloody teachings as a child after being mauled by a lion. The trailer also highlights Ariana DeBose as Kraven’s ally Calypso, a villain in the Spider-Man comics who similarly questions how he chooses to use his bloodthirsty nature.

"Are you like your father?" she presses. "A gangster? A killer?"

This isn't Johnson's first foray into the world of superheroes, either. He previously starred as the speedy Quicksilver, the twin brother of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) in Marvel's 2015 film, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Kraven the Hunter is the fifth origin story within Sony’s Spider-Man universe. Part of their continued collaboration with Marvel Studios, the ever-expanding world includes films like Tom Holland's Spider-Man with Disney, Tom Hardy's Venom, Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web, and Jared Leto's Morbius.

The film, directed by J. C. Chandor, pounces into cinemas on Dec. 13. Watch the trailer above.
