Jaw-dropping scenes are witnessed about Sony’s Spider-Man Universe in In Venom: The Last Dance. While uncertainties air around Venom post the introduction of Knull as a new, powerful villain, this uncertainty lays down the future plot of the show.
Let’s take a look at each of these twists and turns in detail.
What Happens in Venom 3’s Post-Credits Scene?
In Venom: The Last Dance, the post-credits scene displays breathtaking moments about the scenery of Earth and covers the entire Sony Spider-Man Universe.
Fans came across Knull—the godlike “King in Black” and one of the most powerful villains in Marvel Comics history—addressing Earth.
Knull ominously declares, “Your champion has fallen,” suggesting the end of Venom. He then vows to conquer Earth, and the scene closes with a close-up of Knull’s fierce gaze.
How Does This Set Up Knull as Sony’s Big Bad?
For a considerable period of time, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe was unable to find the best plot, with mixed achievements from Morbius to Madame Web.
With Knull in power, the dots between these stories can be connected. In Marvel Comics, Knull, the originator of the symbiotes, is a universal threat who even the Avengers struggled to defeat, and would need more superheroes.
As of now, there is no single “hero team” in Sony’s Universe. While Kraven the Hunter is on the way, and Dr. Payne’s symbiote, Agony, may be a contender, the Sony universe still lacks an Avengers-type team.
What Happens in the Post-Credits Scene?
The viewers get the opportunity to see Cristo Fernández’s bartender character, seen previously in Spider-Man: No way home, in the finals of post-credit scenes. He stumbles through the destruction caused by Knull’s Xenophages, muttering, “Hello? Hola?”
Meanwhile, a cockroach crawls toward a broken canister—the same one used by Rex Strickland to capture a fragment of Venom symbiote.
This scene indicates two things. First, it verifies that life has survived Knull’s attack, suggesting there is still hope. Second, the broken canister hints that a small piece of the Venom symbiote might have endured, teasing the possibility of Venom’s return.
When Will Knull Return?
Although no official statement has been made by Sony regarding the return of this horrifying supervillain, this scene and the ghastly vibe it sets surely guarantees that the demon of the dark would be back soon.
With Kraven the Hunter being next in line for Sony, fans could even expect a possible crossover with MCU, making Knull a connecting link across the mega-franchises.
Will Tom Hardy’s Venom Be Back?
Tom Hardy has hinted that Venom 3 might be the checkered flag of Eddie Brock’s journey. However, the fact that there’s a symbiote fragment in the MCU leads to plenty of theories, which point out to a possibility of different versions of Venom in this very universe.
With this as a preset for the return of Eddie Brock’s Venom, Marvel Studios and Sony shake hands to produce a masterpiece (we could see Venom and Spider-Man share the screen… how awesome is that), ending a wait that lasted 17 years after the release of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3.
Final Thoughts: Sony’s “Thanos” Is Coming!
The introduction of Knull in Venom: The Last Dance is a major tease to induce the return of Venom, reminding everyone that in the universe of superheroes, death is seldom the end of it all.
With the power of Venom’s villains significantly rising with every reboot, Knull “King in Black” might actually end up being Sony’s own Thanos.
