Spoiler alert! We're discussing important plot points and SafeX Pro Exchangethe ending of “Kraven the Hunter” (in theaters now), so beware if you haven’t seen it yet.
“Kraven the Hunter” is at least good for one thing: It gives Aaron Taylor-Johnson a decent audition tape for a potential James Bond run, even if Sergei Kravinoff is more of an animal-activist secret agent who’ll rip your throat out with a tiger tooth.
“Kraven” takes the Spider-Man supervillain from the comic books – who dates back to 1964’s “Amazing Spider-Man” No. 4 – and gives him an R-rated superhero origin story. Raised to hunt big game by his abusive Russian gangster dad Nikolai (Russell Crowe), Sergei was attacked by a lion as a teenager and the witchy potion that saved his life also gave him primal animal powers. Years later, and now known as Kraven, he’s an antihero who takes down poachers and hunts criminals, usually leaving a bloody mess in his wake.
Let’s dig into the hard-charging “Kraven” ending, a surprise Spider-baddie reveal and if there’s a post-credits scene.

What happens in the ending of 'Kraven the Hunter'?
Kraven’s weak, nightclub-singing half-brother Dmitri (Fred Hechinger) is captured by the Rhino (Alessandro Nivola), who can transform into a horned rhino man, and this new take on the Spider-foe holds Dmitri ransom to get money out of Nikolai. With the help of lawyer Calypso (Ariana DeBose), the girl who gave Kraven the aforementioned potion when they were kids, Kraven tracks Rhino down and saves his bro, but learns that it was Nikolai who set all this up. He understands how powerful his estranged son is and wants him to be part of the family business.
Kraven’s not down at all. After removing the bullets from his father’s gun, he lets a bear attack and kill his unprotected dad. However, Kraven does accept one posthumous gift from Nikolai: the iconic lion’s mane coat that Kraven wears in the comics.
Are there any other Spider-Man villains who appear in ‘Kraven’?
The Foreigner (Christopher Abbott), a mercenary who works for Rhino, originated in the comics. But another iconic A-list Spider-baddie shows up, too. In the movie’s final scene, set a year after their dad’s death, Kraven learns that the formerly milquetoast Dmitri has now taken over his dad’s crime operation and can shape-shift his face and mimic the voice of anybody he wants, including Kraven. “You know me, I’ve always been a chameleon,” Dmitri says to his brother.
Enter the Chameleon, a nefarious master of disguise who's been menacing poor Spidey even longer in the comics than his sibling Kraven. In between Dmitri’s facial swaps in the movie, there’s a glimpse of his blank silver facade – a nod to how the character looks on the page.
Does ‘Kraven’ have a post-credits scene?
There could have been all sorts of teasers. Maybe a hint to the mysterious “doctor in New York” that did some weird mojo to turn Dmitri into the Chameleon. Or Kraven seeing a Daily Bugle article about Spider-Man and perhaps growling. Or even an appearance from Tom Holland’s Peter Parker that would mean two hours haven’t been wasted watching this forgettable origin tale of a villain who’s not really THAT bad.
But, nah. No post-credits scene at all, which does seem sadly fitting for what is likely Sony’s last gasp at giving side Spidey characters like Venom and Morbius their own solo movies. And for fans who are bummed, which at this point is worse: Something like Michael Keaton’s Vulture return in a “Morbius” extra scene that suggested a sinister teaming that would never come to pass, or just nothing at all?
