The final film in Sony’s Spider-Man-less franchise led by Tom Hardy spiderman Universe was set to release this October, but it was just dropped final trailer. Venom: The Last Dance In what looks to be a wild conclusion to the trilogy, the new trailer gives us our first look at our villain: Knull. But who is Knull, and why is he so important to Venom?
Simply put, Knull is the god of symbiotes, the species to which Venom belongs. The trailer teases Knull as a terrifying figure who is feared by all the symbiotes he creates. While Knarr’s comic book history is closely tied to Venom, we actually have to start his story by talking about Thor. The first mention of Knull came in 2013, when Jaason Aaron depicted a black-armored, sword-wielding god in the sixth issue of his comic. Thor: God of Thunder. Gower, Aaron’s rival Thor While running, he witnessed the duel between gods, and finally obtained the sword held by the gods, named Quanhei, and formed an indissoluble bond with him.

The name Knull wasn’t coined until five years later. during their groundbreaking run venom In 2018, writer Donny Cates and artist Ryan Stegman picked up the nameless god from Aaron’s run and turned him into Knull A familiar image to comics fans.

Once upon a time a god – a giant creature you may have seen Marvel’s Eternals– created a universe and they brought light into the void.

He does this with the help of a powerful sword called the All-Black Necrosword, which Gore wields in The Sword of Aaron. Thor. The sword was forged from the void itself, and Knull used it to decapitate the gods.
Although Knarr was a significant threat, he was unable to destroy all the Celestials as he planned. Knull was banished back to the void with his sword and severed celestial head. Within that mind, he created a furnace from which the rest of the symbiotic race was born. You probably know that symbiotes like Venom and Carnage are weak to fire and noise. Cates and Stegman explain this. The fire and noise reminded the symbiotes of their painful creation process during the forging of the severed Skyhead. So Spider-Man is basically using the symbiote’s childhood trauma against them to win the battle.
After the symbiote was created, Knull waged a war across the universe. One of his symbiotes includes a large dragon-like creature named Grendel, who fought Thor during Earth’s Viking Age, the comics explain, and ultimately became the basis of the monster.
