Venom 3 Director Seems Confident That The Franchise Will Continue With Big Villain

Key Takeaways

  • Venom: The Last Dance concludes Sony’s Venom trilogy with a new threat, Knull.
  • Director Kelly Marcel assures fans Knull isn’t just a one-time villain.
  • Speculation arises that Knull might crossover to the MCU after Venom 3.

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through countless Marvel battles and cinematic universes, I must admit that the upcoming Venom: The Last Dance has me intrigued, and not just because of Tom Hardy’s brooding performance as Eddie Brock. The introduction of Knull, the King in Black, promises to bring a new level of menace to the symbiote saga, and the hints that he won’t be a one-time villain have me eagerly anticipating what’s next.

In about a month, the movie “Venom: The Last Dance” could potentially conclude Sony’s successful Marvel series. However, the film’s director has offered some comforting news to the fans, suggesting that the Venom franchise may not end with the character Eddie Brock.

Venom: The Last Dance marks the conclusion of Sony’s Venom trilogy, following on from the initial Venom release in 2018 and its sequel Let There Be Carnage from 2021. This final chapter promises fans another thrilling escapade starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock alongside his symbiote companion, confronting a danger greater than any they’ve encountered before. Fans were even more eager with the approach of Venom 3, particularly when it started unveiling fresh footage and introducing a new adversary who has long loomed over the series: Knull, the symbiote creator and ruler in Marvel Comics. The buzz around the film and this enigmatic villain skyrocketed following a significant tease in the trailer.

As a die-hard fan, I can share that Tom Hardy has announced that his portrayal of Venom in “Venom: The Last Dance” will be his final hurrah, but fear not! Director Kelly Marcel has spoken up to reassure us that an intriguing character from the franchise won’t fade away after the third installment. In a chat with IGN about the upcoming project, Marcel unveiled how Knull found his way into the series and hinted at more revelations despite the conclusion of the Venom trilogy. “We always knew about Knull,” Marcel shared during the conversation, “but we needed to establish the foundation for Venom’s character and his bond with Eddie before introducing him. This is merely the start for Knull,” she added, elaborating on her thought process. “Knull makes an appearance in this film, but it’s only the beginning of his tale. Marvel’s most formidable villains are developed over time. Here, Knull serves as the ominous force that pushes Eddie and Venom to their limits, yet it’s their relationship that forms the core of the story.

It’s evident that Knull holds significant importance within the company, as suggested by Marcel, and future plans for this character are extensive. In her words, “We’re getting into spoiler territory now, but rest assured, we understand how much fans love Knull, just like we set the stage for Venom. We hope to be doing the same with Knull.” She also hinted that Knull is far too formidable for a one-time appearance.

A leap into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) would be fantastic for Knull, virtually guaranteeing that he won’t be a short-lived villain. Although Marcel is eagerly anticipating the October release of the third installment, Venom: The Last Dance, there’s still a significant issue to address before its premiere. However, with the possibility of more Knull in the future and potential MCU cross-overs on the horizon, it seems that the R rating so many viewers crave for the finale might not be met. Nonetheless, the outcome for the final film and Knull’s screen presence remain uncertain. Fans can only hope for remarkable developments concerning both characters in the near future.

Venom: The Last Dance is currently set for theatrical release on October 25, 2024.
