Venom 4: Rise of Knull is an anticipated installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, poised to expand the symbiote saga beyond Venom: The Last Dance (2024). While official confirmation from Sony Pictures remains pending, industry insiders suggest that the studio is developing a fourth film centered on the formidable symbiote god, Knull.
Knull, introduced in Marvel Comics in 2018, is the ancient deity responsible for creating the symbiotes. In Venom: The Last Dance, Knull made his cinematic debut, portrayed through motion capture by Andy Serkis. Although the film concluded with Venom’s apparent sacrifice to thwart Knull, post-credits scenes hinted at Knull’s survival and potential return, setting the stage for future confrontations.
Reports indicate that Andy Serkis is set to reprise his role as Knull in upcoming projects. While Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock concluded his arc in The Last Dance, the survival of the symbiote suggests new narratives may unfold, potentially introducing characters like Flash Thompson as Agent Venom.
The introduction of Knull opens avenues for crossover events within Sony’s Spider-Man Universe and possibly the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Speculations abound regarding Knull’s appearance in future projects, including a possible confrontation with Spider-Man in upcoming films.
While an official trailer has yet to be released, fan-made concept trailers have surfaced online, showcasing the excitement and anticipation surrounding Venom 4: Rise of Knull. These trailers, though unofficial, provide a glimpse into the potential direction of the film and the dark themes it may explore.
