“There is way more beyond this trilogy, so to speak. God is coming,”
Venom: The Last Dance brings Marvel Comics villain Knull to the screen, but don’t expect him to be the main antagonist of this trilogy capper. “One movie could never do justice to Knull,” director and co-writer Kelly Marcel told IGN via email.
Even though Venom: The Last Dance is probably the last movie in Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock franchise (we’re going to dive deeper into that further down), audiences can still expect the sequel also to act as a springboard for further antics of Knull. “We knew of Knull but knew we needed to lay in some foundation for the Venom character and his relationship with Eddie before opening that up. This is just the beginning for Knull,” Marcel revealed.
Now in spoiler territory, we hope some of the fun of watching this movie was not knowing what would happen trust me we know full well how important Knull is to the fans, so just like we laid a foundation for Venom, we hope we are doing the same for Knull, she said. “The King in Black is way too powerful for ‘one and done.'”
This film introduces Knull, but only barely scratches the surfaces of his origin story,” Marcel went on. Marvel’s best film villains are constructed based on their arcs. Here, Knull is the menace waiting in the wings of the danger that tests the absolute limits of Eddie and Venom’s bond — but that remains the heart of this tale.
