10 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Casting Rumours You Need To Know About
4. Joel Kinnaman As Kraven The Hunter
Sony Pictures recently tapped J.C. Chandor to take the helm of a Kraven the Hunter movie, but fans remain convinced that the villain will first appear in Spider-Man 3. It's a logical way to introduce the character, especially after Mysterio framed Peter Parker for his murder and outed his identity to the world (meaning he's bound to be on the run now).
Bear in mind that there are going to be more links between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters moving forward, so this isn't a huge stretch by any means.
As for that casting rumour, it's said that Marvel and Sony are on the hunt for Joel Kinnaman, or a "Joel Kinnaman-type," and The Suicide Squad and Altered Carbon star would be an undeniably exciting, unexpected choice to take on the role (being part of the DCEU as well shouldn't matter).
It's easy enough to imagine him matching wits with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, and the actor certainly has an imposing, formidable presence on screen which makes him a solid pick for this classic baddie.
