Multiple developments Marvel Cinematic Universe Lay the groundwork for Knull to join the MCU as a major villain. A fairly recent addition to Marvel’s stable of characters, Knull is a top-tier threat and an antagonist who could easily serve as a Thanos-level villain in a future MCU project. However, Marvel has not confirmed plans to use the character, but Sony is preparing to include Knull Venom: The Last Dance.
With Kang no longer in the MCU’s plans for the multiverse saga, he could be the perfect villain to take the spotlight. The MCU could still push a number of villains as the multiverse saga continues to play out with Robert Downey Jr. As Doctor Doom, as well as providing a gradual setup for villains capable of appearing in Phase 7 and beyond. In fact, a character from Marvel Comics stands as a top candidate for Marvel’s next big villain. Here’s all the evidence the MCU is building towards Knull.
Knull already has a reason to start his Marvel Comics plans
Crux of Knull’s ark already has an appearance in the MCU. Years after the launch of Celestials Guardians of the GalaxyPhase 4 of Marvel dives fully into the concept of Space Gods eternal Thanks for the movie. Marvel has released a key part of Knull’s story. In the comic books, Null harbors hatred for the Celestials, with whom he shares a history that goes back several millennia. As it is in the MCU, the aliens are responsible for all the planets and intelligent life in the universe. Apparently, it was these activities that first incurred Knoll’s wrath.
Knull, an ancient and evil god, lived in complete darkness and enjoyed his empty, lifeless world – known as the Abyss – millions of years ago. Everything changes for Knull when the Celestials enter the Abyss and start populating the universe with life and planets. The Celestials wanted to coexist with Knoll, but he turned against them and made them sworn enemies. His conflict with the Celestials spanned millions of years. In a present-day story titled “King in Black”, Null attempted to erase the sky and defeat the heroes of the Marvel Universe to return the Abyss to its former state.
The backbone for the battle with Knull is in place now that the origins of the Marvel Universe have been carried over to the MCU. Like his comic counterpart, Null may be hiding somewhere in the Marvel universe, waiting for an opportunity to begin his crusade against cosmic beings by ending the darkness. from eternal Set up some of its characters fighting the Celestials, it’s possible that the events of a possible follow-up will weaken the Celestials enough to motivate Null into action.
Gore the God Butcher’s Sword
Arguably, the most direct Stems from the setup for Knull Thor: Love and Thunder. The weapon wielded by its central antagonist, Gor the God Butcher, is the all-black Necrosword. In the source material, All-Black is the weapon that started Nole’s war with the Celestials. Using his powers, he created the sword, making it Marvel’s first symbiote. With it, I managed to kill a Celestial.
After some time, it found its way into Gore’s hand. Thor: Love and Thunder Avoided mentioning Null when developing Gore’s backstory, but did not rule him out as its creator, as it did not confirm the weapon’s origin. Being Knull’s makes sense, especially since its corrupting influence on Gorr is consistent with its symbiotic nature from the comics.
Existence of the Venom symbiote in the MCU’s multiverse
Another step towards Knull could be stone found Spider-Man: No Way Holmes Post-credits scene. When Venom was returned to his rightful place in the multiverse, a fragment of the symbiote remained. As the entity responsible for creation garlic symbiotes, Knull holds a strong connection to this twist. Having this incredibly important concept in the MCU lends credence to the idea that Knull exists, even though the Venom symbiote is not from Earth-616. Each reality can have a Knull that has a symbiote.
If Tom Holland’s Spider-Man or an Earth-616 version of Venom finally get it, the MCU will have another basis for a “King in Black” crossover. Spider-Man and Venom were the main characters of the event because the symbiotes are his greatest weapons. Leading an army of symbiote dragons, Null waged war on the Marvel Universe, with Venom and Spider-Man rising up to fight him. Venom was of particular importance, as it was his link to the symbiote that alerted him to Knoll’s imminent arrival. Knull also absorbed the Venom symbiote to make himself even stronger.
Introduction to Ebony Blade
Not only did the MCU introduce the basis of Knoll’s plan through the symbiotes and the Celestials, it also brought the key to beating him. In Marvel Comics, the Ebony Blade – the Black Knight’s cursed sword – is made from an unknown meteorite and carries a special spell that allows it to cut through almost any element in the Marvel Universe. In theory, even Thor or Thanos would be killed if the Black Knight inflicted a fatal blow with the sword. It extends to Knull. Despite his off-the-charts power level, Knull can be killed by the ebony bladeWhich should make it a secret weapon in any story involving him.
Introducing the ebony blade eternalMarvel effectively justified Null arriving on Earth’s doorstep one day. Of all the places he could have gone, Earth is now his most logical destination, given that acquiring the Ebony Blade was so important to him in the comics and leaving a part of the symbiote behind. Knull, who understood its destructive potential better than Dan Whitman, went to great lengths to obtain it. If used in the MCU’s future, Knull could target Dane and make a play for the sword, thus setting a live-action version of the “King in Black” in motion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Venom: The Last Dance confirms Noll in Sony’s Marvel Universe
After confirming that Knull is officially coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe He will be the main antagonist Venom: The Last Dance Releasing October 2024. His inclusion in the final film poison The trilogy will bring the series full circle as Venom and the other symbiotes must face their creator. Since Knull is a powerful villain, it’s possible that he won’t die Venom: The Last Danceallowing him to appear in future projects for Sony.
Knull is a very powerful villain, which makes his appearance Venom: The Last Dance More worrying for Eddie Brock and Venom. Based on the trailers showing him, it looks like the film will closely follow his comic book backstory as the creator of Venom and the rest of the symbiotes. His importance cannot be overstated, and his inclusion in properties adjacent to Spider-Man means that he may actually appear more down the line.
How Knull could make the jump from Sony to the MCU
Although Knull is being introduced in the Sony Spider-Man Universe, there is still a chance that he could eventually enter the MCU. Knull is a multifaceted entity in Marvel ComicsThis means that he can easily follow its events into the sacred timeline Venom: The Last Dance. Leaving a piece of the symbiote in the MCU with Ebony Blade, it makes sense why he decides to invade that universe depending on what happens to him in his first film appearance.
Such a move could tie the MCU more closely into Sony’s universe, allowing loose ends to be resolved and new storylines to be explored. Since the MCU is all-in on the multiverse following the Infinity Saga, Showing a character like Knull is more than justifiedAnd shows how many threats exist in the multiverse. The possibility is always there, and it can poison Trilogy is more satisfying if it connects to something bigger than what was thought possible.
Knull is a fairly new addition to Marvel Comics, making his first full appearance in 2018, months before the release of Venom. Since then his popularity as a villain has grown, and Venom: The Last Dance Bringing him in makes perfect sense for the final film in the trilogy. Depends on what happens Venom: The Last DanceThe door is open for Knull to make his way there Marvel Cinematic Universe Whenever the opportunity presents itself.
