Sony Pictures is ending 2024 with Kraven the Hunter, a comic book adaptation focusing on one of Spider-Man’s iconic foes. The film marks Kraven’s live-action debut, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Tenet) at the helm. As fans head to theaters, many wonder if the film includes a post-credits scene. Here’s a spoiler-free breakdown to prepare you for the experience.
Fans familiar with superhero films often keep watching the credits in anticipation of additional scenes. Sony has a history of including post-credits moments in its Spider-Man spin-offs, including a shocking scene in 2022’s Morbius. However, Kraven the Hunter does not follow this tradition.
Once the credits roll, there are no additional scenes. Everything that director Jesse Chandor wanted to convey is included before the title card is revealed. After the movie ends, viewers can leave without missing any important plot points or Easter eggs.
This decision is in line with a broader change in Sony’s strategy for Spider-Man spin-offs. While the Venom movies have been successful, other spin-offs like Morbius have not been a hit with audiences. Sony reportedly plans to focus on projects more closely tied to Spider-Man moving forward.
Since Kraven the Hunter is currently expected to be the last standalone film focusing on the Spider-Man villain, there was little need to set up future stories. The film is intended to be a self-contained, R-rated narrative exploring Kraven’s origins.
The film dives deeper into Kraven’s journey, following his complicated relationship with his father Nikolai Kravinoff (played by Russell Crowe). This relationship leads him on a violent path of vengeance, making him a feared hunter.
The cast includes notable names like Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Fred Hechinger (Gladiator II), Alessandro Nivola (Jurassic Park III), and Christopher Abbott (Poor Things). The R rating reflects its brutal violence and strong language, making it a more intense viewing experience than typical superhero films.
Sony described the film as an “action-packed, R-rated, standalone story of the rise of one of Marvel’s most iconic villains”. Aaron Taylor-Johnson portrays Kraven as a complex hero driven by personal loss and vengeance.
Fans looking for hints about future films in the Spider-Verse won’t find them in Kraven. Instead, the film works as a standalone story, focusing entirely on the development of its title character.
