Russell Crowe is signing on to join Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man spinoff movie Kraven the Hunter. There are no details right now on who Crowe would play in the film; the titular role of Kraven will be played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Avengers: Age of Ultron), who was announced for the project last summer. J.C. Chandor (Triple Frontier, A Most Violent Year) from a script by Matt Holloway (Iron Man).

This casting may be a good indication that recent rumors of Kraven the Hunter soon starting production are accurate. Those reports pointed to the film starting to shoot in the UK in mid-to-late-February or March. Sounds like we’ll soon know more about which role Crowe is taking on in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
