Venom 3 Villain To Be Deadlier Than Thanos; Sony-MCU Collaboration For New “Endgame” Like Event
We have next to no clue as to who will be the next real big bad of the future MCU phases. There are rumors that Marvel Studios is gearing up for a World War Hulk movie. While those rumors are taking the world up by storm, there is another piece of news that you may want to know. After Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Sony is gearing towards making Venom 3. And if fan theories are indeed true, then we may already have a villain candidate for Venom 3. This villain is far more deadlier than Thanos. And if true, Sony’s Venom 3 could be a much more successful and impactful movie than MCU’s World War Hulk.
Who Is This Mystery Venom 3 Villain?
Some of you may have already guessed who we are talking about here. To be a threat more menacing than Thanos, you would have to have a status that transcends that of a God. Thanos, an Eternal, had powers that more or less made him a juggernaut. Skillful manipulation and raw brute strength – the purple megalomaniac was adept at both. He could rival the Hulk in terms of strength. He could give the Black Widow a run for her money when it comes to manipulating people and pulling strings from behind the curtains. Only one Venom villain has what it takes to rival Thanos in skills and abilities.
And that Venom 3 villain is none other than Knull – God of the Symbiotes.
Knull Has Already Been Teased To Exist In MCU
Venom: Let There Be Carnage’s post credits sequence roped in Venom into the MCU. In No Way Home, [SPOILERS AHEAD – Skip to the second para if you do not want to read], Eddie Brock could be seen making sense of the MCU when he returns back to his universe after Doctor Strange’s spell in the movie’s climax. But after he leaves, a part of the Venom symbiote is stuck in the MCU. As the credits are about to roll, we see it moving.
Another hint is that in Thor: Love & Thunder, the big bad will be Gorr the God Butcher. Gorr wields a weapon called All-Black, a weapon once wielded by Knull in his war against the forces of light. Knull used the blade to cut off a Celestial’s head that eventually became the outer space outpost called Knowhere. Eternals have already given an in-depth detail about the Celestials and their history in the grand scheme of the cosmos. It is about time their greatest enemy – Knull, who has already been heavily hinted in the MCXU, makes an appearance in Venom 3 already.
Who Is Knull & Why This Venom 3 Villain Will Be MCU’s Doom?
Knull is a God hailing from primordial times. He comes from a time when the universe did not exist. Knull ruled over the abyss of darkness before the celestials used the forces of creation to bring light and lead to the formation of the universe. Realizing that the Celestials are encroaching upon his territory, he creates his personal army of soldiers who we now known as the symbiotes. He also created the Necro-Sword, a weapon that he used to kill Celestials in his war. After he was defeated, the symbiotes formed a prison made out of their own bodies to trap Knull inside.
Enter The King In Black – A Future MCU-Sony Collaboration In The Cards?
Rather than going for a World War Hulk movie and making an evil Hulk the new big bad, making Knull take the center-stage makes more sense. Maybe the MCU is still 50-50 on which direction to take. So they are rowing both boats at the same time. If the MCU takes the Knull route, we could see story arcs like King In Black and Planet of the Symbiotes being brought to the big screens. Just like the Chitauri Invasion in The Avengers (2012), Knull could lay siege on Earth after he unleashes his symbiote army on the planet. Venom 3 could see Knull make an appearance for the the very first time like Thanos did in the Avengers. But the Sony anti-hero would need help and that is where Spider-Man and the Avengers come in.
This is what Knull could give us – a dream come true for Spider-Man and Venom fans.
