In a recent update about the upcoming film "Venom: The Last Dance," director Kelly Marcel reveals that Knull, the creator of symbiotes in the comics, will make an appearance but will not be the primary antagonist. This final installment of the Venom series will focus on the relationship between Eddie and Venom while setting up Knull for future exploration. Marcel emphasized that Knull's complexity warrants more than just a single film to do the character justice, hinting at a broader narrative vision for the character in Sony's Spider-Verse.

What is Knull's significance in the Venom franchise?

Knull is a crucial character from the Marvel Comics lore, known as the creator of the symbiotes. His introduction in "Venom: The Last Dance" serves as a foundation for future stories, although he won't be the main villain in this film. The director aims to deepen the relationship between Eddie Brock and Venom while teasing Knull's potential as a significant threat for upcoming narratives.

The "Venom" film series, consisting of "Venom" (2018) and its sequel "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" (2021), has established a unique corner within the wider Spider-Man universe, albeit without Spider-Man himself. Despite mixed reviews, the series has garnered a dedicated following, making the introduction of iconic comic characters like Knull an exciting prospect for fans eager for more depth in future installments.
