VENOM: THE LAST DANCE leaked image with Knull; The villain speaks in new promo

A picture and a short advertising clip from Venom: The Last Dance have leaked online (there’s a good chance they’re from the same teaser), giving us a new look at the villainous Knull. We also hear the god of the symbiotes speak for the first time.

Possible spoiler in advance.

We’re not sure how big of a plot point this will be, but it’s believed that Knull is holding the All-Black, the Necro Sword, in this still.

In the comics, All-Black was an extremely powerful weapon created by Knull and hardened in the head of the Celestial now known as Knowhere. The sword was endowed with the power to kill gods and was wielded by a number of characters, including Gorr, the God Slayer.

The new footage is only a few seconds long, but we can hear Knull (Andy Serkis) speak for the first time.

Serkis – who directed Venom: Let There Be Carnage – “is expected to reprise the role in future Sony/Marvel projects, meaning we could see a lot more of Knull.” This lines up with previous rumors that Knull will be the main villain Spider Man 4with Venom (Tom Hardy) teaming up with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) to combat the potentially world-ending threat.

“Eddie and Venom are on the run” reads the summary. “Hunted from both their worlds and the net closing in, the two are forced to make a devastating decision that brings down the curtain on Venom and Eddie’s final day.”

Alongside Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road; The Dark Knight rises) in his dual roles as Eddie Brock and the voice of the Venom symbiote, the supporting cast includes Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 years slave; Doctor Strange), Juno Temple (Atonement; Ted Lasso), Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill; The Amazing Spider-Man), Peggy Lu (poison; Crazy rich Asians), Alanna Ubach (Legally blonde; Coco), Stephen Graham (The Irishman; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Clark Backo (Supernatural; The changeling) and Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso; Spider-Man: No Way Home).
