Venom: The Last Dance unleashed its final trailer, and fans got a better look at the supervillain Knull. This is the first-ever live-action appearance of the god of the abyss, and netizens could not believe Marvel Studios and Sony have finally brought him in.
While the movie is one of the most anticipated titles for the year, it will also see the conclusion of Tom Hardy’s Venom saga. The trailer is packed with action and suspenseful scenes, with a touch of comedy and a hint of anticipation for the legendary comic book antagonist.
Venom: The Last Dance Teased A Powerful Marvel Supervillain
Tom Hardy’s journey in the Venom franchise started in 2018, a major feat for Sony Pictures after it turned a massive profit at the box office. This triumph warranted a sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which was equally a commercial hit. Interestingly, both installments received harsh reviews from critics but more favorable reception from the general audience.
Now, with the upcoming release of Venom: The Last Dance, there’s a high chance it will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, at least financially. The appearance of the menacing villain Knull in the official trailer certainly drove fans’ enthusiasm to the roof.
The latest clip showed Knull sending all the symbiotes to Earth to hunt down Venom, which gives fans a general idea of what the film will be about. One line said, “This world can’t survive if you stay together.” It seems like Venom’s presence on Earth will continue to invite a full-on invasion of the planet, but Hardy’s Eddie Brock couldn’t seem to let go. Check out the trailer below:
Knull is an eldritch god of darkness and the creator of the symbiotes. As one of the oldest lifeforms in the Marvel universe, it is worth noting that he is more powerful than Thanos. For thousands of years, the King in Black used his symbiote army to conquer worlds.
Now that Venom and Eddie will face one of the most terrifying adversaries in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe for their last dance, the film hints at a possible sacrificial move that will bring the most fitting conclusion to the epic trilogy.
