Russell Crowe’s Forgotten Marvel Misfire Is Rewriting History on Prime Video

Collider · 2 hours ago

Russell Crowe's much-derided 2024 Marvel film Kraven the Hunter is enjoying an unexpected resurgence, becoming one of the top 10 most-watched titles worldwide on Prime Video despite being widely regarded as one of the biggest box office failures of his career. The film, co-starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alessandro Nivola, is finding new life on streaming years after its theatrical flop, illustrating how poorly received films can still find sizeable audiences once they move to on-demand platforms.

Kraven the Hunter grossed just $62 million against a $110 million budget, missing its break-even point by roughly $150 million, and has moved between various streaming services internationally after settling on Netflix in the US. The article also surveys Crowe's quieter 2026, noting two low-key releases (the MMA thriller Beast and action film The Get Out, both modest earners now on VOD), his ongoing work on a Highlander reboot with Henry Cavill due before the end of 2027, and lingering awards buzz over his overlooked performance in last year's Nuremberg.

  • Kraven the Hunter is now a top 10 Prime Video hit worldwide.
  • The 2024 film lost roughly $150 million against its budget.
  • Crowe is filming a Highlander reboot with Henry Cavill, due 2027.
