Washington [US], February 23 : Sony keeps expanding its universe of Marvel characters. The upcoming film 'Kraven the Hunter', starring Aaron Taylor Johnson as the classic Spider-Man villain, has added 'The White Lotus' star Fred Hechinger to its cast.
As per Deadline, the actor will portray Chameleon, an evil master of disguise who also happens to be Kraven's half-brother.
J.C. Chandor is directing 'Kraven the Hunter', which is the next 'Spider-Man' villain spinoff after 'Morbius'. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing, and the screenplay is written by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
'Kraven the Hunter' will hit theatres on January 13. Coming up next in Sony's Spidey-verse is 'Morbius', starring Jared Leto as the vampiric villain from the Spider-Man comics.
