Following the release of Venom: The Last Dance’s final trailer, the one and only thing that the fans have been debating is the surprise revelation from that trailer. This revelation actually confirmed a very old rumor as official and many fan theories about the true villain of the Venom franchise proved to be correct.
Specifically, it has been reported that Venom: Last Dance will feature the on-screen debut of the deadly Symbiote overlord Knull. This is significant because Sony clearly wants to give Venom and Eddie a fitting send-off in a big-budget motion picture, and the strategy seems to be working, as fan interest in the movie is growing.
Now, Knull’s debut was confirmed, but at the time, we had no idea who was playing the character, nor what the character’s role would be. And okay, to be fair, we don’t know much more now either, but a very popular and reliable insider claims that he knows who is going to play Knull and what his role is going to be!
If the name seems unfamiliar, Knull is an evil god that created the alien races known as Klyntar and Exolons, as well as the weapon known as All-Black the Necrosword. He was born following the devastation of the sixth version of the universe, and until the Celestials showed up and started building the seventh version of the Marvel Universe, he was happy to roam the boundless emptiness.
Knull created All-Black, the Necrosword, and killed one of the Celestials in retaliation after being awakened by the “Light of Creation” and furious over the looting of his kingdom of darkness.
He is a major Spider-Man villain and one of Marvel’s most dangerous villains, possessing enormous power. As we’ve said, Knull is definitely appearing in Venom: The Last Dance, and insider DanielRPK is claiming that he knows who will be playing the character:
Andy Serkis will reportedly play Knull in 'VENOM: THE LAST DANCE'

Yes, according to DanielRPK, legendary Hollywood actor Andy Serkis is going to portray Knull in the movie and he will also appear as the Symbiote overlord in future projects as well. The latter coincides with last month’s report about Knull appearing in more than one project, so there could be some truth to this.
Andy Serkis is definitely a great pick when we’re dealing with a CGI character, and Knull is definitely going to feature a lot of CGI, so we are looking forward to finding out whether this rumor is true, and if it is – well, kudos Sony!
