Venom: The Last Dancedirector Kelly Marcel previews theMarvellive-action debut of Knull in Tom Hardy’s trilogy finale and his future. The end is near for Eddie Brock as Hardy is finishing his time inSony’s Spider-Man Universefor the time being withThe Last Dance. As Eddie and the symbiote are on the run following the events ofVenom: Let There Be Carnage, they will also be dealing with their toughest threat yet in the form of Knull, the creator of all symbiotes.
At the Sony presentation, whichScreen Rantwas in attendance for atNew York Comic Con2024, Marcel was asked about any further elaboration on Knull inVenom: The Last Dance. While the actor’s identity still remains a mystery,Marcel stressed that this is only the beginning for Knull in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, sharing the following:
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.
What Kelly Marcel’s Knull Comments Mean For Sony’s Spider-Man Universe
The SSU Might Not Be Ending Any Time Soon
As it remains to be seen who intheVenom: The Last Dancecastis actually portraying Knull,Marcel’s comments do signify that Sony Pictures isn’t turning away from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. For the time being,Venom: The Last DanceandKraven the Hunterare the only remaining movies that are coming out from the franchise, as no further films have been revealed to be in the works for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe after 2024. However, if Knull is set to be used in further Sony-Marvel films afterThe Last Dance, that might mean that more titles are getting ready to be announced.
It may also depend entirely on how successful Knull’s debut is inVenom: The Last Dance, as Sony Pictures may be waiting to announce additional films for the franchise until they see how he does with the audience. However, ifKnull’s future in Sony’s Spider-Man Universemeans that he may clash with other characters, it will be fascinating to see how he is used outside the context of theVenommovies. There is also the chance that Knull could be eyed for a bigger villain role for Sony’s upcomingSpider-Manlive-action TV shows afterVenom: The Last Dance.
