The latest trailer for Kraven the Hunter reinvents Spider-Man villain the Rhino for the better… maybe?
The latest trailer forKraven the Hunterfeatures a long-awaited character from theSpider-Manmythos.
No, not Spider-Man.
Of course its not Spider-Man.
No, the newest character is Aleksei Sytsevich, better known as the Rhino.
Weve seen clips of Aleksei in his civilian form, played by Alessandro Nivola.
But this latest trailer is the first time hes appeared in his Rhino form and it is… different.
However, the biggest change to Rhino lore is in his non-beast form.
Traditionally, Rhino is a moron, a dimwitted Russian thug who gets himself trapped inside of his suit.
There have been some variations on this personality.
Thats nto the only change to Spidey characters seen in the Kraven trailer, however.
the Chameleon, played by Fred Hechinger, doesnt show off any master of disguise or shapeshifting abilities.
The biggest change is, of course, that of Kraven himself.
None of these changes should be much of a surprise.
Sonys Spidey-less Spider-Verse has to take extreme liberties with the source material.
Or maybe thats an idea so dumb, even the Rhino would mock it.
Kraven the Hunter comes to theaters on December 13, 2024.
