Forget Spider-Man 4! Venom's Knull Is the Avengers' Next Big Bad!
Knull: The Symbiote God Who's Bigger Than the Spider-Verse!
Venom: Let There Be Carnage introduced Knull, the freaking King in Black, the most powerful Symbiote god in the entire Marvel Universe. This dude is seriously dangerous and his potential in the wider MCU is insane! Lots of people already have those ideas swirling regarding his potential future appearances; there are talks about him showing up in a new Spider-Man movie – maybe Spider-Man 4 or even Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Yet those possibilities seem kind of small considering this powerful cosmic threat's capabilities! Knull has so many story opportunities outside those movies that this sounds like a massive wasted chance for those considering the possibilities available, showing a fundamental misjudgement of the capabilities.
It has been already stated that Venom 3 is only the start for Knull which greatly elevates his importance to that wider, more intense scale that makes those prior movies involving Spider-Man seem oddly limited! This also raises the key point that many other characters can be added and used, given Knull's already vast and extremely threatening powers; given that fact that this threat doesn't belong within just one specific section, the overall implications and changes are going to make an entire world far more dramatic and suspenseful to watch.
Knull's Arrival: A Massive Upgrade for Marvel's Symbiote Lore!
Thinking Knull would only show up in future Sony movies? That would be thinking way too small. That is simply overlooking many previously-established links between Sony’s universe and the MCU. We can’t really ignore how easily Tom Holland's Spider-Man is now featured in both those movie universes; showing those previously established connections that makes it incredibly possible to also involve this symbiote god.
Ignoring these elements also seems foolish, because the easiest strategy is working with Marvel; making their universe even more impressive! Adding Knull to the MCU seems ideal! Especially since he is extremely easy to introduce: That Necrosword which appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder! It belongs to Knull; It provides this natural, ideal gateway into that MCU storyline. Adding those existing symbiotes (left behind by Eddie Brock in Spider-Man: No Way Home) could make Knull’s arrival even more intensely dangerous; this presents Knull with some immediate motivations which add more intensity to how quickly these actions would unfold. The suspense is just plain amazing!
Why Knull Is the PERFECT Avengers-Level Threat
The Avengers already fought gods (Loki, folks!). But Knull? That's another level of sheer, brutal cosmic horror! His ability to summon armies of symbiotes – and possess anyone or anything – makes him unlike any threat that has appeared so far in the MCU. Imagine seeing Captain America, Captain Marvel, or even Ant-Man completely Venomized! That would produce sheer, unadulterated cosmic horror! The implications alone; an easily established worldwide, or possibly even universe-wide threat–creates immensely satisfyingly horrific and genuinely tense experiences; making audiences completely engaged for many, many more scenes and characters.
And it's easily expanded; involving even more characters! Considering that Knull’s deity status makes this entirely plausible. Involving Guardians of the Galaxy against that immense cosmic threat easily produces even more intense encounters and vastly elevated conflicts; and his invasion isn’t some straightforward brawl; this becomes that huge cosmic event that completely makes some otherwise smaller characters rise up, highlighting that even less powerful characters might become vastly important; thus creating many opportunities to re-examine old material to showcase unexpected outcomes and characters previously ignored.
Knull: Setting the Stage for the Next Avengers Saga!
Avengers: Doomsday will include Robert Downey Jr. (as Doctor Doom) which is massive! The writers have also confirmed multiple future Avengers storylines in those next installments; suggesting that there will be plenty of other avenues for showing Knull, but as this article highlights, introducing Knull in Avengers: Doomsday would work perfectly, potentially aligning the plot perfectly, making Doctor Doom an unlikely ally before becoming MCU’s next big bad; generating an incredibly creative conflict!
Failing this, Knull would make an epic threat following Avengers: Secret Wars! Or, maybe in Young Avengers or New Avengers. This is clearly important, given the significance of these elements across the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe! A Knull film wouldn't only become extremely dark and suspenseful, generating immense levels of hype; the implications, all this cosmic terror would truly showcase just why Knull matters. It all depends on Venom 3! It must set him up right!
Conclusion: Knull's MCU Debut Is Inevitable – Prepare for Cosmic Mayhem!
Those hints across Phase 4 make Knull's MCU arrival very likely, but that possibility creates this intense suspense, especially for audiences; creating this very intense level of curiosity which drives people toward greater interest regarding how Knull will be involved in the overall continuity for this extremely well-known movie series and those long-awaited plots that the fanbase already deeply anticipate.
Using him as a main Avengers villain? That sounds brilliant. He's scarier than anything Avengers have faced so far— a seriously terrifying but totally amazing possibility that would involve even many other characters in the universe; greatly escalating how this specific foe might completely change those dynamics between other Marvel characters and introduce several others that were previously unseen and would dramatically affect those characters that everyone has already learned to enjoy in prior movies!
