Javier Bardem is probably too good for this role. That’s not a shot at the MCU, it’s a testament to how scary Bardem can be as the antagonist of a movie. He’s the most decorated and capable actor on this list.

The top three could honestly be interchangeable, Bardem is only listed in third place due to his age and because it’s questionable if he can get into the superhero shape that he’d need to be in for Kraven. It’s a very small worry though.

In No Country for Old Men, Bardem played a ruthless hitman that lacked sympathy for mankind. His character was not too off from Kraven the Hunter, in the sense that they are both killing machines who enjoy the hunt and the kill.

Getting this calibre of an actor like Bardem isn’t unlikely for the MCU, and Bardem has been open to blockbuster films like Skyfall and the upcoming Dune adaptation. He’d step into the Spider-Man franchise and make everyone around him better and could take on the lead role if the Sinister Six come to fruition in the MCU.

Bardem’s propensity for playing an unhinged character would work so well for when Kraven loses his code after being driven mad by not being able to catch Spider-Man and ultimately resorts to guns to hunt the spider. Javier Bardem’s style as Kraven in a Kraven’s Last Hunt storyline is almost enough to make a comic fan salivate.
