10 Awful Looking Upcoming Movies That Will Make Serious $$$

4. Kraven the Hunter

Another SPUMC disaster in the making, Kraven the Hunter has poached Aaron Taylor-Johnson from his short-lived main MCU role and transplanted him into the film's eponymous Spider-Man villain.

Now, Taylor-Johnson is not a bad fit for the character, not if they were doing him justice. But if you're looking for justice, you've picked the wrong movie.

Trailers have Kraven running like a cheetah, scaling the walls like a monkey man and biting chunks out of baddies like a lion. Definitely not a thoughtful piece on the master tactician and hunter, then. Instead, expect an all-out scrap-a-thon with a thin string of plot holding it together. 

The film also comes equipped with yet another version of Spider-Man villain Rhino, this time with a bio-altering condition that allows him to grow armoured rhino skin, and has him looking as close to the comic books as any version we have seen yet. Pity, then, that he is a CGI mess. Sure, it could have been worse - he could have been a Hellboy-esque dude in a muscle suit - but that doesn't exactly redeem it, especially when the filmmakers are playing with a $130 million budget!

Nonetheless, fans have been waiting since before the beginning of the MCU to see the Kraven character realised on screen, and are guaranteed to turn up for it, for him, no matter what.
