Tom Hardy has already confirmed Venom 3 is happening, quite some time ago now. It makes sense to be fair considering the success of the first 2 movies at the Box Office. Both films combined have earned over $1.2b so it was only right we’d get a third.
The first film featured Riot as the main villain with the second being Carnage. I think now we’ve got those out the way the only correct symbiote to feature next is Knull.
Knull is an eldritch god of darkness and the creator of the symbiotes. He’s literally where it all ends. If Venom is to have more films after a third then Knull could still be a viable option. Venom has more foes than just symbiotes and it would be nice to see Tom Hardy’s Venom go up against Tom Holland’s Spider-Man eventually.
After the success of Spider-Man 2 and the symbiotes, I’d love to see this further envisioned on the big screen. Let There Be Carnage didn’t have the greatest feedback and even now I agree that the film may have been a bit too short but it was still so much fun.
The fact is, Venom has already knocked off Riot AND Carnage. It’s obvious at this stage that Knull would fully be aware that one of his symbiotes has turned against them. It just makes sense for it to be Knull next. There isn’t anything much more powerful than Carnage in fairness and Venom managed to defeat him.
There’s still a lot of time left before we get to see anything with the movie. Venom 3 is slated for July 11th, 2024 but this could be delayed due to the current ongoing strikes.
People are saying though that perhaps Knull would be better within the MCU just to the level of threat.
Sony does deserve more credit than that. Plus, Disney and Sony have proved they can work together in harmony. Tom Hardy was in No Way Home albeit for a brief cameo but he still featured. Who’s to say that they can’t cross Knull and Venom into the MCU as well? The Multiverse does now exist within Marvel so there is that.
Would you like to see Knull be the major villain in Venom 3? Let us know in the comments below.
