Aaron Taylor-Johnson says Marvel movie Kraven the Hunter may be R-rated, but it's a "family drama" at its heart

Kraven talks with his brother Dmitri.

As anyone who has watched the recently-released opening minutes of Sony's upcoming Kraven the Hunter will know, the new movie is leaning hard into R-rated action. But star Aaron Taylor-Johnson and director J.C. Chandor say the film also has a strong relationship at its heart: the messy dynamic between Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Sergei Kravinoff, his brother Dmitri, and their gangster father Nikolai, as played by the mighty Russell Crowe. 

"I think at the core of the story, there's a real family drama," Aaron Taylor-Johnson told GamesRadar+ in an exclusive interview. "You see these two boys being brought up in a very toxic environment. Their father is this Russian gangster, the head of this mobster gang, and eventually he wants to hand the business over."
