Summary
WhileVenom: The Last Dancemarks the end of Sony’sVenomfranchise, an intriguing rumor has surfaced. It suggests that a new, exceptionally powerful villain might be in development, one more formidable than any before.
Venomis one of Marvel’s most beloved characters, and the end of this trilogy is undoubtedly bittersweet for fans. However, the anticipation for the upcoming movie remains high. Adding to the excitement, a new rumor suggests that a new villain might make an appearance, potentially marking another crossover between the two major studios.
An intriguing rumor connected to the upcomingVenommovie has emerged, suggesting a potential tie to the broader Marvel universe. While fans speculate about the next big villain for both franchises, @MyTimeToShineH reported that Knull, the God of the Symbiotes,will not appear inVenom 3. Instead, Sony plans to reserve this formidable villain for a future crossover, positioning him as the ultimate antagonist for their spinoff universe. Although Sony has not yet laid the groundwork to introduce Knull, there remains potential to set the stage for his appearance in the next movie.
Seeing Knull as the next major antagonist facing Venom on screen is certainly an exciting prospect. However, with no hints of Knull’s introduction intheVenom 3trailer, this seems unlikely. Considering thatVenom 3will conclude Sony’s Venom trilogy, there might still be potential to see Knull in other Sony films. Despite the lack of groundwork for Knull’s big-screen debut,Venom 3could still hold a major surprise for fans. The idea of another Sony/Marvel crossover is intriguing. While the previous crossover,No Way Home, was a success, there is no guarantee thatthe studios will agree on another collaboration. Nonetheless, the prospect of Sony’s Spider-Verse characters coming together to confront Knull is an alluring idea. Fans on social media have suggested that if Knull appears in the future, Sony could introduce him similarly to how Marvel introduced Thanos in 2012’sThe Avengers. Some fans argue thatSony is trying to build their own universelike Marvel but is not using interesting characters effectively and is wasting time. They believe Sony should hand over the rights to Marvel to ensure these characters receive the justice they deserve.
Knull made his debut in 2018’sVenom #3, created by writer Donny Cates and artist Ryan Stegman. He is an ancient supervillain, a deity, andthe creator of the symbiotes, which explains his deep ties to bothVenomand Carnage. With connections to Gorr the God Butcher, he has been hinted at as an enemy of Thor and the Silver Surfer. Knull’s origins trace back to the early universe, preceding even the Celestials, existing in the void before creation, only to be disturbed by the advent of light. In response, he forged the All-Black Necrosword, the first symbiote, with which he slew a Celestial. This act led to his exile, during which he bred an army of symbiotes to expand his dominion. Considering himself a God of darkness, Knull harbors an intense aversion to light and life. He wields vast powers, capable of controlling darkness and symbiotes at will, nearly conquering Earth with his symbiote forces. Some argue that Knull ranks among theMarvel universe’s most dangerous villains, surpassing even Thanos. Witnessing this power on the big screen, whether in a Sony or Marvel production, would undoubtedly be a captivating experience.
