“A little pocket of British people, all hiding under American accents.“

New Kraven The Hunter Trailer. I hope it is good. I like Aaron Taylor Johnson. Origin seems different from comics. Wish he had a more foreign accent. And Crowe playing two different characters in Marvel movies. Oh and he was Superman’s Krypton Dad. pic.twitter.com/Rw4kRP9bVJ
