Isaac is, in many ways, a voyager in Hollywood. He does everything from big-budget blockbusters to smaller-scale indie movies that don’t even get mainstream releases, and he’s done almost everything since getting his big break in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Well, everything except an MCU movie. It’s a milestone that is long overdue.

Isaac isn’t exactly picture perfect when it comes to trying to match up an actor to the character in the comics. He has the acting range to pull off the character no doubt, but he’s a far cry from the Russian lion wrestler that is able to take down Spider-Man.

What makes Isaac an attractive Kraven the Hunter, believe it or not, is his portrayal of another Marvel villain in Fox’s former X-Men universe, Apocalypse. X-Men: Apocalypse had a lot of flaws, with the overall design of Apocalypse himself being one of them, but that did not extend to Isaac’s performance. He took on the comic book role and attempted to not only make it his own but bring the character to life in the fashion it was written in the comics.

Isaac is not the build that you’d want from Kraven, but he’s shown his ability to get into incredible shape for his roles like Ex Machina. At 5’9 he’s on the smaller side, especially since Tom Holland is 5’8 (Kraven is usually supposed to tower over Peter Parker), but for this quality of actor, these changes can be overlooked.

Nobody cared once they saw the 5’11 Josh Brolin playing the 6’8 Cable in Deadpool 2.
