Kraven the Hunter, the Marvel-inspired action film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Russell Crowe, and Ariana DeBose, brought key parts of its origin-story narrative to Iceland. The production used the country’s dramatic volcanic landscapes to ground the film’s harsher, more personal moments.

Filming took place primarily around Lake Mývatn, an area known for its striking lava formations, frozen plains, and other-worldly winter atmosphere. These Iceland filming locations added authenticity to Kraven’s survivalist journey, with lead actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson noting how the natural environment strengthened the emotional and physical realism of the character’s story.
The Iceland shoot provided the raw, rugged backdrop needed to shape Kraven’s transformation into one of Marvel’s most formidable hunters—showcasing again why Iceland’s scenery is a top choice for major international productions.
