Stunning developments unfold in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe with the release of Venom: The Last Dance. Following the emergence of Knull as a formidable new foe, the uncertainty surrounding Venom serves to shape the narrative trajectory of the franchise.
Let’s delve deeply into the various plot twists and developments.
What Transpires in Venom 3’s Post-Credits Scene?
In the post-credits sequence of Venom: The Last Dance, viewers are treated to mesmerizing visuals showcasing the landscape of Earth, which encompasses the entirety of the Sony Spider-Man Universe.
Fans are introduced to Knull—the godlike “King in Black” and one of the most potent villains in the history of Marvel Comics—who ominously addresses the planet.
With a grave proclamation, Knull announces, “Your champion has fallen,” implying the potential demise of Venom before vowing to subjugate Earth. The scene concludes with a haunting close-up of Knull’s intense stare.
What Does This Mean for Knull’s Role as Sony’s Main Antagonist?
For quite some time, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has struggled to establish a coherent narrative, experiencing mixed results from films like Morbius and Madame Web.
With Knull now in play, connections can be drawn between these different storylines. In the Marvel Comics realm, Knull—the creator of the symbiotes—poses a universal threat that even the Avengers have found challenging to defeat, necessitating a larger assembly of heroes.
Currently, there is no formal “hero team” within Sony’s Universe. While Kraven the Hunter is in development and Dr. Payne’s symbiote, Agony, could emerge as a contender, the Sony universe still seems devoid of an Avengers-like ensemble.
What Occurs in the Post-Credits Scene?
The final post-credits scene features Cristo Fernández’s bartender character, previously seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home. He navigates through the ruins left in the wake of Knull’s Xenophages, calling out, “Hello? Hola?”
Simultaneously, a cockroach scuttles towards a shattered canister—the very one utilized by Rex Strickland to capture a fragment of Venom’s symbiote.
This scene signals two significant implications. Firstly, it demonstrates that life persists amidst Knull’s devastation, implying there still exists a glimmer of hope. Secondly, the broken canister suggests that a remnant of Venom’s symbiote has survived, teasing the potential return of Venom.
When Might We See Knull Again?
With Kraven the Hunter slated as the next project for Sony, fans can anticipate a potential crossover with the MCU, positioning Knull as a central figure bridging the two expansive franchises.
Is Tom Hardy’s Venom Poised for a Comeback?
Tom Hardy has hinted that Venom 3 may mark the culmination of Eddie Brock’s journey. However, the existence of a symbiote fragment within the MCU opens up numerous theories, suggesting the possibility of alternate iterations of Venom within this universe.
This sets the stage for the potential return of Eddie Brock’s Venom, with Marvel Studios and Sony collaborating to produce a landmark film (imagine the excitement of Venom and Spider-Man sharing the screen after a 17-year wait since Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3).
Concluding Remarks: Sony’s “Thanos” Is Approaching!
The character of Knull introduced in Venom: The Last Dance serves as a tantalizing hint signaling the return of Venom, reinforcing the idea that in the superhero realm, death is rarely final.
As the threat level of Venom’s adversaries escalates with each reboot, Knull—the “King in Black” —could potentially become Sony’s own version of Thanos.
