The trailer for Venom: The Last Dance also provides glimpses at other creatures that Venom might take over including a fish and a horse. It also showcases new looks at characters played by Stephen Graham, Juno Temple, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rhys Ifans, and more.
It looks like the film will focus on both, Eddie and Venom, being hunted by both of their worlds. Directed by Kelly Marcel, Venom: The Last Dance is set to open in theatres on October 25, 2024.
Exploring Knull's comic book storyline
In the comics, Knull was created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman and first appeared in Thor: God of Thunder #6 (March 2013) and made a fill appearance in Venom (Vol. 4) #3 in June 2018.
He is the creator of the symbiotes in the Marvel Universe and is an eldritch god of darkness as well. He has extremely deep connections to the Marvel lore as well and used to wield the Necrosword too.
He resides between the sixth and seventh cosmoses and was awakened when his kingdom was invaded by the Celestials who wished to make him the King in the Black. However, Knull refused the opportunity and decapitated one of the Celestials with his Necrosword, which was one of the first symbiotes as well. He then waged his war against the light and became a figure of divine terror.
However, he found himself stranded on an unknown planet when his Necrosword was stolen. This further led him to experiment with his own powers, and how he could bond with lesser creatures that he wanted to control.
In the comics, he is also referred to as the god of symbiotes, and judging by Venom: The Last Dance's trailer, it looks like the film will see him again waging his war on Light as well, by trying to take over Earth.
What is Venom: The Last Dance about?
The upcoming third Venom film will be a sequel to the original Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage. As per Sony Pictures Entertainment, the film will follow Venom and Eddie Brock as they are hunted by forces from both of their worlds, and it will also be the final Venom film.
