Venom 3: Who Is Playing Knull in the Movie?

Venom 3 trailer has confirmed that Knull is going to make his first cinematic debut with Venom 3. As exciting as this revelation is there is still a lot of discussion regarding the actor who will be playing the titular villain in the movie. Venom: The Last Dance will be the last movie in the standalone Venom franchise but we are certainly going to see more of Venom in some other Marvel projects. However, even though we are excited to see Eddie Brock and his Symbiote on screen once again, let’s talk about what’s in the air regarding who is playing Knull in Venom 3.

Andy Serkis Is Officially Playing Knull In Venom 3

Initially, there were a lot of rumors regarding who was going to play the role of Knull in Venom The Last Dance. However, according to a scoop by MyTimeToShineHello, it is officially confirmed that Andy Serkis will be playing the role of Knull in Venom 3. However, as of now, we have not seen him as the character so it would be too soon to say anything regarding it but considering his various performances, it’s safe to say that Knull is in rather safe hands.

Norman Reedus Was Rumored to Be Venom 3 Knull Actor

After the trailer for Venom 3 was released, and confirmed the appearance of Knull in the movie, the internet was taken by storm regarding who will be playing this monstrosity of a villain. A rumor started floating on X (Twitter) stating that Normal Reedus would appear in the movie as Knull. However, no credible scooper or media publication came up with such a report confirming this claim.

On top of that, there has been no statement from Norman Reedus himself talking about this role in any interview or statement. However, this is not the first time Norman has been the center of such a rumor. Sometime back when he shared fan art of himself as Ghost Rider, people took over the internet stating that he would appear in some Marvel project as the Spirit of Vengeance.

One Fan Theory Suggested That Rhys Ifans Could Be Playing Knull

Another fan theory stated that Rhys Ifans’s appearance in the movie is not a nod to Amazing Spider-Man since the subtitles in the trailer state that his name is Martin. However, the theory suggested that the God of Symbiotes, Knull has taken up the human form of Martin to get close to Eddie/Venom and we would get to see a superhero showdown by the end of the movie.

Another theory states that Sony is going to spin the story of Knull a bit and portray him as a super Symbiote that will take over Rhys Ifans’s character as its host to become Knull. Even though this theory is interesting, with the confirmation it is evident that this is not happening.

We all know that Knull isn’t supposed to be a one-and-done Marvel villain which is now confirmed by the director of Venom 3 as well. So casting a new actor to appear in the role makes much more sense.

With that being said, all that is left to do for us is to wait for the movie to be released in the theaters and see for ourselves how well Andy Serkis would carry out the role and to know how it went, stay tuned with us for our Venom 3 review!
