Earlier today came the surprise announcement from Sony Pictures that their Kraven the Hunter movie was moving full steam ahead, tapping Avengers: Age of Ultron and Godzilla star Aaron Taylor-Johnson to play the Spider-Man villain in a new solo movie. Following this announcement came news that many other actors were approached as the studio attampted to get the movie of the ground, some surprising names to boot. Deadline reported Justin Kroll took to Twitter to reveal that Sony approached “everyone” including Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and Adam Driver. Kroll also noted that “JDW,” presumably John David Washington, was also approached as well.
Sony had been aiming high from this role approaching everyone from Brad Pitt and Keanu to JDW and Driver to star but sources say recent footage of ATJ in the upcoming action pic Bullet Train, blew away Sony execs who moved fast to offer him the part. https://t.co/K1YlezOgab
