With “Venom: The Last Dance” set to hit theaters on October 25th, excitement is building as Sony Pictures intensifies its marketing push. The latest teaser, which has just been released, gives fans a thrilling first listen to the voice of Knull, the Symbiote God. Rumors have swirled for some time that Andy Serkis would lend his voice to the dark villain, and this new clip seemingly confirms it. Known for his transformative performances in films like “The Lord of the Rings” and “Planet of the Apes,” Serkis seems poised to bring the same intensity to the role of Knull, adding a fresh layer of dread to the “Venom” universe.
The short clip, which features Knull speaking ominously, gives audiences a taste of the character's dark presence. But the real buzz comes from a recently unveiled image that shows Knull holding the Necrosword, the legendary All-Black. In the comics, this fearsome weapon was forged inside the skull of the Celestial Knowhere and is capable of slaying gods. Its inclusion hints at a more expansive Marvel storyline on the horizon, possibly setting the stage for future encounters with other powerful characters.
Andy Serkis, who directed the previous “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” has long been associated with this latest film, and his continued involvement suggests that Knull's role may extend beyond “The Last Dance.” With speculation about the character potentially appearing in future Marvel projects, including the much-anticipated fourth “Spider-Man” movie, the future of the Symbiote saga looks promising.
Tom Hardy, who reprises his role as Eddie Brock/Venom, recently promoted the film at New York Comic Con alongside writer-director Kelly Marcel, who has helmed the upcoming installment. The duo's appearance was another reminder of the star power behind this franchise, which has evolved beyond its initial expectations to become a significant part of the Marvel film landscape.
The inclusion of Knull, especially voiced by Andy Serkis, could be a game-changer for the “Venom” series. The teasers hint at a more mature, darker narrative that could elevate the franchise beyond its previous installments. If done right, “The Last Dance” could be a defining moment not just for Venom but for Marvel's broader cinematic future.
What are your thoughts on Andy Serkis potentially voicing Knull? Do you think introducing the Necrosword hints at a larger Marvel crossover?
