Footage of Aaron Taylor-Johnson Preparing for the Role of Kraven the Hunter Released Online

As a seasoned gamer who has battled countless digital villains and survived countless epic boss fights, I must admit that the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie has piqued my interest. The trailer looks promising, and the fact that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is portraying the titular character makes it even more intriguing.


In the Spider-Man Universe (SSU) by Sony, the upcoming antagonist-focused movie titled “Kraven the Hunter” is set to release on December 13, 2024. This exciting news is coming up quite quickly, as you can tell. This year wrapped up the Venom trilogy, serving as a significant foundation for SSU, regardless of its reception. Despite that, the Spider-Man Universe continues to develop fresh projects, and Kraven the Hunter will be the next one to hit the screens.

Despite initial reviews suggesting that “Kraven the Hunter” isn’t a groundbreaking film like some “Venom” movies, it still delivers a strong performance. However, the early box office predictions aren’t promising, but a recent online video release could potentially boost those figures.

Specifically, Men’s Health magazine recently unveiled a special video showcasing the intense training routine followed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson as he prepares to portray Kraven the Hunter in the upcoming film. To put it simply, his preparation is nothing short of remarkable, so let’s delve into the details further!

Sony is expanding its Spider-Man universe without actually featuring Spider-Man. The upcoming film will be centered around Kraven the Hunter, succeeding Morbius and the Venom trilogy. Despite the movie garnering some notable actors, early forecasts aren’t promising. However, this video might alter those predictions slightly:

It’s clear that Taylor-Johnson, who is strongly contending for the James Bond role, has undergone a rigorous training regimen to shape up for his part as Kraven. The video above offers a glimpse, but the original Men’s Health article provides all the inside details on how Taylor-Johnson transformed into Kraven. Here’s the story behind his transformation.

As for his diet, the article reveals the following:

To mimic the eating habits of a top-tier hunter (Nate Schmit), Taylor-Johnson’s diet was centered on genuine foods, eliminating unnecessary elements such as sugar. “The goal,” says Schmit, “was to tackle this immense amount of food required and keep you in good working condition.” This meant obtaining protein from various authentic sources, ranging from bone broth and gelatin gummies and marshmallows to steaks. To provide ample energy for burning, they also included carbohydrates in the diet.

For approximately three months prior to commencing intensive training, the actor strictly followed a specific diet. If you’re curious about the steps he took to achieve that impressive upper body physique depicted in the video, here’s what you need to know: (followed by the instructions)

The workout routine usually divided exercises based on upper and lower body parts, occurring approximately four to five times a week. Kingsbury encouraged Taylor-Johnson to complete each exercise for 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 repetitions, stopping just short of exhaustion while still having one extra rep in reserve. In every session, the goal for Taylor-Johnson was to perform one additional rep compared to the previous time to stimulate muscle development.

  • Bench Press: 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps
  • Lat Pulldown: 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps
  • Seated Row: 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps
  • Cable Preacher Biceps Curl: 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps
  • Single-Arm Triceps Cable Pushdown: 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps
  • Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps

Ultimately, the actor disclosed that he needed to ready himself for the animalistic actions and stunts. Consequently, he engaged David Kingsbury to design exercises tailored for those specific moves, alongside his regular workouts. In Taylor-Johnson’s own words: “I was executing a lot of parkour movements and quadruped movements—which means I ran on my hands and feet.

Hey there fellow gaming enthusiast! If you’ve found yourself admiring that actor’s muscular build and are eager to get in shape like them, let me walk you through it! Happy workouts!
