Venom 3: Knull's Live-Action Debut & Future of Sony's Spider-Man Universe

Knull's Arrival: Venom 3 Director Teases a multiverse-Spanning Villain!

Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Knull's Massive Impact

Get ready for a massive showdown! Venom: The Last Dance, the final chapter in Tom Hardy's Venom trilogy, is bringing the big bad Knull to the big screen for the first time ever! Director Kelly Marcel recently teased what’s in store; that epic debut and Knull's future within Sony's Spider-Man Universe at New York Comic Con 2024. We all got a taste of the mayhem during that awesome Venom: Let There Be Carnage climax but get ready because the main threat this time around is going to be absolutely nothing like you’ve seen in the past, completely surpassing every single villain Eddie and the Symbiote have faced.

Eddie Brock and the symbiote are on the run, facing an insane threat; a true boss level villain who's also known as the creator of all symbiotes. And while details about Knull's portrayal are still secret (who is actually playing this amazing bad guy remains unknown!), Marcel stressed during an interview at that big New York Comic-Con this isn’t a one-off appearance. She stated this important aspect for planning in later movie plots and series storylines: "This is just the introduction to Knull. Obviously, he's a massive character, so you could never do one and done with him, so this is just a taste of Knull, you will get to meet him and then what the future holds for him; who knows."

Knull's Potential to Reshape Sony's Spider-Man Universe

Even though Knull's actor is still a massive mystery, Marcel's comments indicate that Sony is planning bigger things for Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU). For now, only Venom: The Last Dance and Kraven the Hunter are announced post-2024 releases from the SSU. However, Knull's planned extended appearances could mean some major additions to that ever-expanding universe of projects that Sony has coming; completely reshaping the future plans. It even might signal some big movie announcements coming soon.

There are two main factors involved in making that extended role successful: That role is entirely going to depend upon this Knull debut's success, obviously. Sony might hold back additional announcements until we all see the audience’s reactions toward Knull's appearance in Venom 3. But his later appearance would add enormous consequences; if those plots were indeed established; especially considering those storylines’ significant expansion that wouldn't work well outside those storylines that specifically feature the Venom character.

Knull is unbelievably powerful. He’s a massive figure. Seeing him join the SSU will add huge thrills! That "taste" comment hints at even bigger plots coming, probably involving many villains from the upcoming movie Venom 3. That ending is only one week away. What will the impact really be?
