Tickets for Kraven the Hunter officially go on sale tomorrow, and might just be accompanied by a final trailer for the movie. For now, Sony Pictures has released two TV spots featuring some action-packed new footage.

The teasers include more of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's vengeful beast-man doling out violent justice, and we also get a couple of shots of Kraven scaling a wall in much the same fashion as a certain Friendly Neighbourhood Webhead.

We're not sure if this is a deliberate nod to Spider-Man, but either way, it could end up being the only reference to the wall-crawling hero in the movie. A recent rumor claimed that Spidey is not mentioned in the film, and there will be no post-credits scenes.

Check out the new spots at the links below.

There seems to be slightly more anticipation for this latest Spider-Man-less Spider-Man spin-off, if for no other reason than the R-rating potentially providing some visceral thrills.

The first 8 minutes of the movie were recently screened during New York Comic-Con, and the sequence featured Kraven stalking and killing multiple foes in a prison. The violence was said to be surprisingly gruesome, and a second clip with "multiple very brutal kills" including murder by bear trap, axe, and tree stump - which reportedly splits someone straight down the middle - was also shown.

"He's an apex predator, the top of the food chain," said star Aaron Taylor-Johnson during the panel. "Kraven's a hunter, not a poacher. Like every hunter knows, sometimes you have to cull the herd to preserve order. Of course, when he starts applying that to human beings, it becomes a pretty dark story."

“It’s not just Kraven. We’ve really gotten an opportunity to dive into the Marvel characters in a really cool way,” added director J.C. Chandor. “We wanted to have the spirit of those characters be what fans want and also bring it to the screen in a new way… We’ve walked a tonal balance where myself as a storyteller and as the director, I know the actors in every performance, we’re not breaking the fourth wall. We believe in this story like it was really happening.”

"When you get in those books. It’s pretty, pretty intense," said the filmmaker of the movie's much-discussed R rating. "When the studio gave us the opportunity to see if we wanted to do this as an R[-rated] film, we were like, yes,” he said. “It was an amazing opportunity. It sort of opened up some really intense kind of Grindhouse stuff on one side, and then some also really intense character stuff.”

“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”

Kraven the Hunter is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is intended to be the sixth film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU). The film was directed by J. C. Chandor and written by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Richard Wenk.

In addition to Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the title role, Ariana DeBose will play Calypso, a voodoo priestess and Kraven's on-off love interest (in the comics, at least); Fred Hechinger is Dmitri Smerdyakov, aka the Chameleon, who is Kraven's half-brother; Alessandro Nivola will play Aleksei Sytsevich, aka the Rhino, and Christopher Abbott will portray another villain known as the Foreigner.

Sony's next "SMU" movie has been rated R for "Strong bloody violence, and language."

NGL, that parkour trailer looks pretty [frick]ing decent.

What [frick]ing simulated world are we living in where Kraven the [frick]ing Hunter gets a Hollywood movie without Spider-Man?

@Batmangina - The clown world in which Sony will keep making this dreck as long as people keep paying to see it.
None of these studios care about fan reception or "quality"; they only care about a return on investment.
The only way they stop making these movies is to starve them financially.

Do like Taylor-Johnson as a young Kraven, but remain skeptical of the Sony history and straying from source material, character traits, etc. If this is good that’s great for the team making the film, but would unfortunately encourage Sony to make more Spider-related films and their track record is awful IMO.

The R rating does go a long way and I like the cast I feel Kraven as a character is more interesting than Morbius or nobody cares Web. The rhino as a metahuman I’ll take it but surprisingly a downgrade from the previous one if he kills some [frick]ers left and right that would be awesome

Traditionally, Kraven is the bullying brother to Chameleon, but I definitely think Chameleon should be his enemy with Calypso and one son being secondary. I would've like to see Puma who turns out to also be an anti-villain who helps in the end. Kraven shouldn't be a good guy, just self serving and less evil

@ager - Well judging by the trailers and how he handles his enemies, don't think he'll be portrayed as a good guy. It'd be nice to see Puma, underrated character. I still remember him from the old Spider-Man 2 game.

Do they even have to copy the 'LFG" marketing from Deadpool & Wolverine?
I don't get how Sony can be legendary when it comes to video games, but so horrible with movies.
(Although PlayStation is declining rapidly nowadays).
