    Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as Sergei Kravinoff, who gains animalistic superpowers as a teenager via a serum that saves him from a lion mauling while on a hunt in Africa.  Determined to fight against everything his gangster father, Nikolai (Russell Crowe), stands for, Sergei travels the globe putting criminals on his "list" and then killing them.  He runs afoul of The Rhino (Alessandro Nivola) and The Foreigner (Christopher Abbott), who kidnap his half-brother Dmitri (Fred Hechinger).  To track them down, Kraven enlists the help of Calypso (Ariana DeBose), who provided the serum that saved Sergei's life back in the day.  While watching the movie, the guys comment on the seemingly endless origin story, The Foreigner's powers and lack of a comic-accurate costume, why Kraven suddenly needs a lawyer to help track criminals, disturbing CG faces, and more.
