The final trailer for ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ is out, and it gives us our first look at Knull, the creator of the symbiotes.
In the trailer, Eddie Brock asks Venom who sent a symbiote after them around the 50-second mark. Venom responds, “My creator,” and we see a mysterious figure sitting on a throne surrounded by symbiotes. This character is believed to be Knull, but his full identity is not revealed yet.
Knull, also called the King in Black, is a powerful villain from the comics and the creator of the symbiotes.
Knull first appeared in Marvel comics in 2018. He has a deep history in the comics as he crossed paths with the Celestials, Silver Surfer, Thor, and Ego the Living Planet. He played a huge role in the Marvel crossover event ‘King in Black,’ where he and his symbiote army invaded Earth. Eddie Brock and Venom eventually defeated Knull in that storyline.
The actor playing Knull hasn’t been officially confirmed, but many believe Rhys Ifans might be playing him as he’s listed in the cast.
The cast of ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock, aka Venom. The movie is directed by Kelly Marcel, who also worked on the previous ‘Venom’ films. Marcel developed the story with Hardy and wrote the screenplay.
‘Venom: The Last Dance’ marks the last chapter in the ‘Venom’ trilogy. The film will be released in theaters on October 25.
