Venom: The Last Dance: Knull Creators "Didn't Know" Marvel Character Was in Sony Sequel

As a long-time Marvel fan and gaming enthusiast with a deep appreciation for character development and visual storytelling, I must say that the unexpected appearance of Knull in Venom: The Last Dance has me absolutely thrilled! The creators’ surprised reactions only serve to fuel my anticipation for this highly anticipated film.


It turns out that the architects behind Knull hadn’t anticipated his appearance in “Venom: The Last Dance“. This enigmatic Marvel antagonist has rapidly gained popularity among readers due to his distinctive visual aesthetic and symbiote-linked lore. Previously featured in video games such as “Marvel Snap” and “Marvel Contest of Champions”, Knull is now poised to take the spotlight as the primary villain in “Venom: The Last Dance“, the third installment in Sony Pictures’ Venom series. The announcement of Knull’s role in “Venom: The Last Dance” took even his creators by surprise, given that they hadn’t expected him to make an appearance in this film.

Artists Ryan Stegman and Donny Cates are the minds behind Knull, a character who left them as surprised as fans when he seemingly made an appearance in the Venom: The Last Dance trailer. In a recent post on X (previously known as Twitter), Stegman humorously shared, “Yes, I did help create Knull. No, I didn’t know until today that he would be featured in Venom: The Last Dance. Yes, I am looking forward to the day when I can finally install that relaxing lazy river moat around my house.” Fans have been quick to join in on the “lazy river moat” joke, referencing the perceived lack of financial compensation for Marvel creators when their creations are adapted into other media.

In a casual and amusing manner, Donny Cates made some witty remarks, saying “You guys, I just had the oddest dream…,” followed by the word “MONEY” written in the Venom logo typography. It’s important to note that Knull has not been officially confirmed for Venom: The Last Dance, but if this is indeed the final Venom film, what could be more fitting than facing off against the King in Black as a grand finale.

Who is playing Knull in Venom: The Last Dance

Although the actor for Knull hasn’t been officially announced yet, Rhys Ifans, who bears a striking resemblance to the character we glimpsed briefly in the Venom 3 trailer, is on the cast list for Venom: The Last Dance. Rhys Ifans has previously played characters based on comic books, as he portrayed Dr. Curt Connors / The Lizard in Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man.

In the movie titled “Venom: The Last Dance“, we find stars such as Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham gracing the screen.

As a die-hard fan, I eagerly anticipate rejoining Tom Hardy as he slips back into the role of Venom, one of Marvel’s most intriguing and multifaceted characters, for the concluding chapter in the trilogy titled “Venom: The Last Dance.” Eddie and his symbiote partner are fugitives, pursued by both their respective realms as the noose tightens around them. With nowhere left to run, they’re compelled to make a heart-wrenching choice that will mark the end of Venom and Eddie’s final dance together.

Directed by Kelly Marcel, Venom: The Last Dance opens in theaters on October 25th.
