Andy Serkis to Play Knull in Venom 3
Upcoming film Venom 3, also titled *The Last Dance*, is generating excitement as it prepares to introduce a significant character from the Marvel universe, Knull, the creator of the symbiotes. A recent report indicates that Andy Serkis has been cast in this role, marking an intriguing development for fans of the franchise.
The film will conclude Tom Hardy’s trilogy as Eddie Brock, a character known for his chaotic antics, is pursued by government forces and extraterrestrial entities. While speculation abounds regarding potential links to the forthcoming *Spider-Man 4*, the new trailer has already hinted at the presence of Knull, a powerful character described as a god of darkness. His introduction is anticipated to have substantial implications, as Knull’s abilities are formidable enough to rival the likes of Thanos.
Knull’s brief appearance in the trailer left fans curious about the actor portraying him. Initial rumors suggested that Norman Reedus, famed for his role in *The Walking Dead*, might take on the character. However, the latest reporting suggests that the role has been secured by someone else entirely.
According to industry insider DanielRPK, Andy Serkis will portray Knull in *Venom: The Last Dance*. Furthermore, there’s speculation that Serkis may appear in additional Marvel projects in the future, expanding his influence within the franchise.
This casting aligns with a widespread belief that Knull may not take center stage in *Venom 3*. Rather, his presence might serve to pave the way for future plotlines, possibly connecting to a new *Spider-Man* installment or the anticipated *Avengers: Secret Wars*, as Sony’s cinematic universe looks to integrate more closely with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Serkis is a notable choice for the role for two main reasons: he previously played Ulysses Klaue in *Avengers: Age of Ultron* and *Black Panther*, and he directed *Venom: Let There Be Carnage*. This experience could enhance his performance and bring depth to Knull’s character.

As anticipation builds for *Venom 3*, fans have expressed their opinions regarding Serkis’s casting. One user noted, “Well that’s definitely promising, at least in terms of voice acting and performance. I wonder if they plan more Venom movies or if he’s going to be part of the MCU,” reflecting a common curiosity about the future of the franchise.
Another commented on the potential for motion capture technology in Serkis’s portrayal, stating, “I know this is probably polarizing for a lot of people – but in my opinion, it’s a very intriguing choice, especially if they go mocap. Those other projects most likely would include Spider-Man 4.”
As *Venom 3* approaches its theatrical release on October 25, excitement continues to grow. For fans eager to dive deeper into the Marvel universe, rankings of Marvel movies, guides to upcoming releases, and lists of the greatest superhero films are available for exploration.
