Rumor: This Big Actor Could Be Playing Knull in Venom 3

The trailer for Venom: The Last Dance has sparked excitement, especially with Knull’s first live-action appearance. Fans are buzzing with rumors that the actor behind the role has already been revealed, fueling even more anticipation.

As the final chapter in Sony’s Venom trilogy, this movie carries high stakes, and the mystery surrounding Knull’s casting has become a major talking point. A source has hinted that a big-name actor could be portraying the powerful symbiote god, heightening fan expectations. With so much excitement building, everyone is eager for official confirmation as the movie’s release date approaches.

Knull was shown only very briefly in the trailer, but according to industry insider Daniel Richtman (via @cosmic_marvel), this short glimpse is enough to suggest that Andy Serkis is behind the role. Though it is still just a rumor, other sources have supported the claim, and fans seem thrilled by the possibility. Adding to the excitement, reports also suggest that Serkis’ appearance as Knull won’t be a one-off, as Sony plans to bring him back for future projects, hinting at a larger role in the symbiote universe.

As mentioned, the trailer for Venom 3 has just dropped, and while fans are buzzing with excitement about what is in store for the next installment, one major detail remains shrouded in secrecy: who will portray Knull. The dark symbiote god was recently confirmed as the movie’s main villain, and the trailer offers a very brief glimpse of him, along with a quick tease of his voice. Fans have been eager to figure out who might be behind the character, and speculation has ranged from Norman Reedus to Rhys Ifans as possible candidates for the role. However, the most recent rumors suggest an even more exciting possibility. As per recent rumors, Andy Serkis himself may be the one set to bring Knull to life. Serkis, a master of motion capture, is no stranger to the Venom franchise, having directed Venom: Let There Be Carnage back in 2021. With Knull expected to be “extremely CG,” Serkis seems like the ideal fit to portray the symbiote god, as his expertise in motion capture has earned him the title “King of Motion Capture.” Fans are thrilled at the idea of Serkis taking on this role, and if the rumors are true, his involvement could extend beyond this movie, with a strong possibility of Knull returning for future projects in the Sony universe.

As for what else to expect from Venom 3, much of it remains a mystery. According to the movie’s official synopsis, Eddie Brock and Venom are on the run from “both of their worlds,” leaving the rest open to speculation. Some rumors suggest that clues from the trailers and teasers point to a possible multiverse connection, with many fans hoping for another Venom and Spider-Man crossover. However, nothing is confirmed, and fans will have to wait for the movie’s release to see how these theories play out. Sadly, Tom Hardy has confirmed that The Last Dance will be the final movie in the saga. Despite this being the last chapter, it appears that the filmmakers are aiming for a spectacular conclusion to wrap up Eddie and Venom’s journey. If the hints from the trailers are any indication, this could be a thrilling, action-packed sendoff for the symbiote duo, leaving fans with a memorable finale.

Venom: The Last Dance premieres on October 25, 2024.
