Ariana DeBose is set to make her Marvel debut in \u201cKraven the Hunter\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Golden Globe winner is to star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the upcoming Marvel movie.<\/p>\n
According to Deadline, the \u201cWest Side Story\u201d star will take on the role of Calypso, a voodoo priestess who uses magic potions, and the occasional lover and partner of Kraven (Taylor-Johnson).<\/p>\n
Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger were recently added to the cast, though their roles are being kept under wraps for the time being.<\/p>\n
In 2021, it was revealed Aaron had been cast as Kraven in the Sony motion picture, which will be directed by J.C. Chandor.<\/p>\n
Kraven is known to be one of Spider-Man\u2019s biggest enemies, and he has also clashed with Venom and Black Panther over the years.<\/p>\n
The character \u2013 who was born Sergei Kravinoff \u2013 was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and first appeared in 1964 Marvel comic \u201cThe Amazing Spider-Man\u201d.<\/p>\n
He is a big-game hunter who likes to destroy his prey with his own bare hands, and he has super-strength, speed and senses after taking a herbal potion.<\/p>\n
Taylor-Johnson is no stranger to Marvel movies having portrayed Pietro Maximoff\/ Quicksilver in 2015\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Age of Ultron\u201d.<\/p>\n
In 2016, the star admitted he would love to reprise the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe one day.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cYeah, absolutely. But I don\u2019t have any knowledge I could share with you if did.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, his chances of playing the character again appear to be slim as Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, previously told fans that Quicksilver is \u201c100 per cent dead\u201d and will not be back \u201canytime soon\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cQuicksilver is dead, 100 per cent. He\u2019s not coming back anytime soon, there are no plans \u2026 No escaping bullets, no retcon, no.\u201d<\/p>\n
The flick is slated for release on January 13, 2023.<\/p>\n
