The highly anticipated ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ marks the conclusion of Tom Hardy‘s tenure as Eddie Brock, the iconic anti-hero. However, the film also introduces a major new villain: Knull, the god of all symbiotes.
Knull’s appearance in the ‘Venom‘ franchise is a significant development, as the character has been a fan-favorite in the Marvel comics for years. Moreover, his introduction to the live-action universe opens up a world of possibilities.
Director Kelly Marcel Claims ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Will Only Give “A Taste Of Knull”
The director of ‘Venom: The Last Dance’, Kelly Marcel has teased that the film is just the beginning for Knull. In an interview at New York Comic Con, Marcel emphasized that Knull is a massive character who deserves to be explored in depth.

“This is just the introduction to Knull,” Marcel said. “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,” he added.
Fans were worried about Knull being a one-off villain like Gorr the Butcher in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. However, Kelly ensures fans that this would not be the case with Knull as the character has a lot of potential. His statement suggests that Knull could play a significant role in future Spider-Man and Venom films.
Additionally, his introduction in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ could set the stage for a confrontation with Spider-Man or other heroes in the MCU. Additionally, Knull’s connection to the symbiotes could lead to the introduction of other symbiote characters, such as Carnage and Toxin.
The inclusion of different symbiotes in the film has already been teased. Moreover, ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ marks a significant moment for the Venom franchise. The possibilities are endless, and fans are eager to see how Knull’s story will unfold in the years to come.
The Future Of Knull In The Sony Spider-Man Universe
Kelly Marcel’s comments about Knull’s future in the Venom franchise have sparked speculation about the broader implications for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. The studio has not announced any concrete plans for the future of the franchise beyond ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ and ‘Kraven the Hunter’.

However, Marcel’s words suggest that there is potential for Knull to play a significant role in upcoming projects. The success of Knull’s introduction in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ could determine whether he will appear in future films. Moreover, Kelly’s claim that the film will only feature “a taste of Knull” implies that there will be more.
So, Sony may be more inclined to explore his potential in other projects. One possibility is that Knull could become a major antagonist in future Spider-Man films. His powerful abilities and dark motivations make him a formidable foe. Alternatively, Knull could be used as a villain in a standalone film or series focused on other symbiote characters.
The introduction of Knull also raises the possibility of crossovers with other Marvel characters. There is always the potential for characters from different franchises to interact. Overall, Marcel’s comments about Knull’s future are a positive sign for the Sony Spider-Man Universe.
