Ever since his mainstream cinematic breakthrough in the title role of 2010’sKick-Ass,Aaron Taylor-Johnsonhas shined in action films.
Co-starring Oscar winnersAriana DeBoseandRussell Croweand directed byAll Is LostandA Most Violent YearhelmerJ.C.
What is it about Kraven that drew you back to Marvel?
You kind of work from that backwards and go wow…
I really want to get to the bottom of who he was before he became the villain.
The frontrunner to be the next Bond has a varied filmography.
Thats certainly the vibe I got watching the Russell Crowe scenes.
Its a pleasure to see him in a role like that.
It felt like theres even the lightest bit of camp in his performance, too.
I grew up idolizing him, and to work with him was a dream.
Hes such a heavyweight actor in the sense of his presence; hes menacing, hes demanding.
The simplicity he brings is so powerful, and hes everything that you want to see.
Its Russell Crowe giving the best performance in a long time, and its cool as hell.
Heres a blunt question.
Who do you think would win in a fight: Kraven or Quicksilver?
TAYLOR-JOHNSON: I think Kraven, because hes relentless and wont stop.
I do think though, Quicksilver would keep running around and it might be a game of tag.
It might be pretty boring to watch Id say.
He kicks butt and looks sharp while doing it.
Is thereanythingyou can tell us about all that?
To haveR-rated action in a superhero movieis super exciting.
Come see this movie; it wont disappoint.
Kraven the Hunterhits theaters in the US on Dec. 13.
