Aaron Taylor-Johnson bites a man's nose off in first Kraven the Hunter trailer
The first Kraven the Hunter trailer is here – and it's an action-packed thrill ride that sees Aaron Taylor-Johnson pull off some gory feats, including biting a man's nose off his face. Wild.
In the footage, which you can watch above, we're introduced to a younger version of Johnson's character, who is attacked by a lion while on a hunting trip. The experience gives him enhanced abilities, which he puts to work taking out evil, as he phrases it. That involves the nose bite, smashing a bear trap around a man's head, and shooting a crossbow bolt through another man's chest, along with some other particularly inventive attacks.
The trailer also features Russell Crowe as Kraven the Hunter's father, Ariana DeBose as Calypso, and Alessandro Nivola as the Rhino.
Plus, there's a new poster to feast your eyes upon, featuring Taylor-Johnson brooding on a throne made of skulls and antlers.
