As much as fans would like to believe in the ripple effects of multiverses, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Sony-produced Marvel movies keep telling otherwise. Already struggling to leave a mark with each of their Marvel characters’ adventures, Sony has practically left the comic geeks in utter wonder if reclamation would ever be in their court. But with Kraven the Hunter
starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson mirroring the plummeting box-office efforts of its predecessors, fans cannot help but engage in another Marvel-made troll fest.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is currently one of the hottest Hollywood tickets with not only an upcoming entry in the Sony Universe of Marvel characters with Kraven the Hunter
but also a highly anticipated Christmas release from Robert Eggers’ coattails, Nosferatu
. Speaking of his double down on the festive season, fans have already conjured the Rotten Tomatoes approval for both films, with Kraven the Hunter
dipping down with a 15% rating
and Nosferatu
looking upwards with a whopping 93%.

“Inside aaron taylor-johnson there are two wolves,”
wrote the film critic with the screenshots on X, unable to crack at the festive “range
” he has arrived with. The critic reportedly watched the movies simultaneously, unaware she would be the puppeteer, giving fans an unexpected reality check. While one victory lap never really guarantees another, even with the shortest gap between the projects, the troll fest came with a bit of lamentation, as fans felt rather sorry for the actor.
Although the opening weekend projections were already disastrous
, tinged with the embarrassing forecast of becoming the weakest debut among Sony’s Marvel movies, the reviews are here to back it up in full throttle.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s duality in Kraven the Hunter and Nosferatu has fans in a chokehold
Much like Sony could not capitalize on Sydney Sweeney
’s momentum despite pulling all stops in introducing her as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Woman in Madame Web
, it also could not leverage Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s raving arrival, as per critics. Although the movie is yet to take the big screens alongside his forthcoming Nosferatu
, the early reviews may not even allow him the chance to turn the tables.
Paycheck job vs passion job

Many fans could relate and still had their hopes for Robert Eggers’ horror flick.

In fairness Nosferatu is based on the writing of Bram Stoker and Robert Eggers.

The troll-a-palooza, however, did not slow down as fans dissected his works by likening them to “paycheck job vs. passion job.”
Others somewhat agreed with the probability, but even they knew a man could not really win it all. However, with almost every jab landing on Sony’s treatment of Marvel characters, thanks to Kraven the Hunter
, it may not be Aaron Taylor-Johnson who has to swallow the bitter pills since redemption remains on his bingo card this year, unlike the studio.
