<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve got just over a month until Venom: The Last Dance<\/a><\/em> premiers, and a new trailer for the finale of Tom Hardy<\/a>\u2019s symbiote saga reveals the perfect end boss for Eddie and Venom\u2019s bromance. The name might not raise an eyebrow to the casual or old school Venom fan, but he\u2019s a natural villain straight out of Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman\u2019s record-busting run on Venom<\/em><\/a>: Knull, the King in Black<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Introduced in the late 2010s by Cates and Stegman, Knull is the ancient god of darkness and void who created the Symbiotes as weapons in his war on Marvel Comics\u2019 creator gods, the Celestials, because for every star and world and mote of life they created, his realm of pure void shrank. He was a cosmic existential threat, until he got his clock soundly cleaned by a young Thor, and the Symbiotes seized on his momentary weakness to rebel against their own god\u2019s mind control, forming millions of their own bodies into a gigantic spherical prison \u2014 the Symbiote homeworld. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Knull was the shadowy, growing threat of Cates and Stegman\u2019s 2018 run on Venom<\/em>, until he came to really raise hell \u2014 he had a wicked Symbiote sword and an army of mind-controlled Symbiote dragons and a real heavy metal album cover style. Marvel\u2019s King in Black<\/em> crossover event sold like gangbusters and was big and stylish and fun, so it\u2019s no wonder that Last Dance<\/em> writer and director Kelly Marcel would look to it for a blow-out finale to this bizarre superhero franchise. <\/p>\n
