Sony unveiled novel watchs at three of its upcoming titles — Venom: The Last Dance, Karate Kid: Legends, and Kraven the Hunter — during an hour-extfinished contransientation at this year’s New York Comic Con.
The Friday night panel, which featured euniteances by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, straightforwardor J.C. Chandor, Tom Hardy, Juno Temple, Chidampel Ejiofor, and straightforwardor Kelly Marcel, accompanied footage of the uncovering of Kraven, a trailer for Karate Kid: Legends, and a clip and converseion of what happens when Venom consents over a horse in The Last Dance.
Chandor started the contransientation off, teasing that “it’s enjoy an elderly gangster film, fundamentalassociate this classic benevolent of journey, but evidently with a little bit of a Marvel spin. This ain’t a peachy Craven. You don’t do it that way. You gotta go brutal with Kraven.”
He inserted of the Dec. 13 free: “It’s not fair Kraven. We’ve reassociate gotten an opportunity to dive into the Marvel characters in a reassociate chilly way,” he said. “We wanted to have the spirit of those characters be what fans want and also transport it to the screen in a novel way… We’ve walked a tonal equilibrium where myself as a storyincreateer and as the straightforwardor, I understand the actors in every carry outance, we’re not shattering the fourth wall. We consent in this story enjoy it was reassociate happening.”
Speaking to the film’s R-rating, he allotd an enthusiasticness to go more prolongn-up based on the comics.”When you get in those books. It’s pretty, pretty fervent. When the studio gave us the opportunity to see if we wanted to do this as an R[-rated] film, we were enjoy, yes,” he said. “It was an amazing opportunity. It sort of uncovered up some reassociate fervent benevolent of Grindhoparticipate stuff on one side, and then some also reassociate fervent character stuff.”
On casting Taylor-Johnson, the straightforwardor remarkd there was a authentic dispute. “To discover an actor who has the ability to stand toe-to-toe with a lot of these other actors in the movie, and helderly up the chops from a carry outance standpoint, but also be able to physicassociate transfer in a way, which is this sort of animacatalogic dance,” he said. “He was born to carry out Kraven.”
Johnson, after euniteing on stage to untamed cheers, spoke about Kraven’s “iconic image,” definiteassociate his physicality. “It’s always engaging carry outing a villain, and I leank it comes with a lot more depth and complicatedity. He’s authentic. He’s not an alien, he’s not a visual VFX monster. He’s a man who’s made a choice to be a hunter, a finisher. I leank that comes with a lot of layers,” he remarkd. “Kraven is a hunter, not a poacher and as every fantastic hunter understands, sometimes you have to cull the herd to upretain the order. Once you begin utilizeing that to human beings, that’s when it becomes a pretty unreasonable story.”
Among the footage trelieved was the film’s uncovering, which saw Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven articulateed to a prison colony. There, Kraven get tos to a boisterous receive, as fellow prisoners bang on their cages from above before he encounters his cellmate, who remarks the last guy was there fair a month and Kraven promises he’ll only be there a scant days. He faces a number of novelly made enemies before having a encountering with a directer of one of the colony’s gangs, who — after an swap of words, traps Kraven inside. That sets off an fervent fight sequence featuring Kravev maliciously taking out the whole room before taking the fight to the hallways outside, where he eventuassociate shatters free from the prison, climbing its walls before run awaying thraw the tundra into a wall of snow.
A second clip showed Kraven arming himself in a hoparticipate out in the forest, preparing to hunt a number of men with firearms shooting the untamedlife. That hunt features him using a endure trap to consent one of his enemies out, aextfinished with a sthriveging log covered in spikes — all before a helicchooseer chases him from above.
Karate Kid was up next, beginning with a trailer that was uncovered by Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio. Star Ben Wang led much of the footage, which heavily trelieved the film’s center on family, combat and stunt toil. “In life you only have one ask: Is it worth combat for it? Or not?” Chan is heard stating. The film uncovers May 28, 2025 and fuses Chan — star of the 2010 Karate Kid movie, and Macchio, who led the exceptional films, as well as the Netflix hit Cobra Kai.
Fans of Venom were treated to novel footage from the third inshighment in the Tom Hardy-led franchise, which has already freed a trailer teasing the closing chapter for the symbiotic relationship. During the panel, Hardy mirrored on carry outing the character for over half a decade. “I’ve absolutely adored carry outing Eddie,” he telderly the crowd. “It’s been one of the best leangs in my life so it’ll be downcast to see him go.”
Hardy also spoke to how he and straightforwardor Marcel toil together on the films, normally taking an idea that they go back and forth on, before Marcel trelieved where the film will consent fans. “We discover him where we left them at the end of Venom 2,” she trelieved of the film, which uncovers next week. “Now they’re fugitives and on the run. The Last Dance is a road trip movie where they’re chased by people from our world and other worlds, and the extfinisheder they stay together, the more they authenticize staying together puts the world in jeopardy.”
Ejiofor and Temple also trelieved their characters, noting that Ejiofor character “is a military man. He is incredibly stringent and forthright in dealing with these creatures and trying to helderly this facility together,” he said. Temple’s character, who allots the facility with him, toils on the scientific side, but the two don’t always see eye-to-eye.
As for whether this is the end of the Venom arc, Marcel and Hardy verifyed it was. “We always saw this as three pictures, and we wanted to increate Eddie and Venom’s story in three movies. The arc for Venom and Eddie seals here. But as we understand, there are lots of symbiote stories in the canon, so there’s lots of places to go, and maybe even there are a scant Easter eggs in here that might begin that journey off,” Marcel trelieved.
