It wasn’t until the last trailer for Venom: The Last Dance that we learned that Knull, the creator of the symbiotes, would be making his live-action debut. While little is known about the extent of his role in the film, a new rumor not only suggests how big of a role he’ll have but who will be playing him as well!
According to industry insider Daniel RPK, Andy Serkis will be portraying the character in motion-capture, the acting method which he is most known for! While his attachment to the project might come as a surprise to some (because of how under-the-radar his casting was), keep in mind he did direct the last Venom film. So he technically isn’t a stranger to the franchise.

That’s not all though! In the Patreon post where he made the announcement, RPK also revealed that this does not appear to be a one-off appearance. He states that Serkis is expected to reprise the role in future Sony/Marvel projects. That means fans could seeing a whole lot more of Knull post the Venom series.
Now, because neither Sony/Marvel or any of the major trades has confirmed this (why would they?) we urge you to take it with a grain of salt.
What do you think of this news? Sound off below!
The film is being written, co-produced, and directed by Kelly Marcel (in her directorial debut) from a story she wrote with Tom Hardy, who reprises his roles as Eddie Brock and Venom and also serves as a producer.The film also stars Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor in undisclosed roles.
