James McAvoy Responds To ‘The Crow’ Casting; Isn’t Materialized “Yet”
Back on February 25 we reported that James McAvoy, who blew our minds as Charles Xavier in X-Men: First Class, is circling Relativity’s long-gestured remake of The Crow. We pointed out that McAvoy’s role in X-Men: Days of Future Past could effect his ability to take the role, and that nothing had been set in stone.
Getty Images in the UK was able to reach McAvoy for comment: “It’s not for real,” he told the site. “I don’t think it’s materialized into anything truthful yet… it’s just been rumour mill stuff.”
I would like to point out that McAvoy specifically uses the word “yet” – and that’s because he’s still in the mix for the role, says our sources. As always, actors will dance around the questions until something official hits ground running. Let us not forget that Mark Wahlberg confirmed our previous report that he was in fact in the running to star as Eric Draven in the modern day take. Same source. Same facts.
The film is the latest adaptation of James O’Barr’s incredible revenge comic from 1989.
F. Javier Gutierrez is still attached to direct from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow. Brandon Lee made the franchise famous when he starred in the 1994 adaptation directed by Alex Proyas.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
