In Marvel Comics, Knull is a primordial deity dubbed the “King in Black” by early Celestials. He once ruled over a cosmos of darkness, and now wants to bring that darkness back to the universe. This may also be Knull’s goal Venom: The Last DanceAnd if he succeeds, the Earth of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe could very easily be destroyed, especially since there is only Venom to oppose him, rather than a team of formidable superheroes. That would be catastrophic, but it doesn’t have to be the end for Venom.
Eddie Brock and Venom can be saved thanks to Spider-Man: No Way Home
Tom Hardy made his MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home
While Knull destroying the world could easily mark the end of Venom’s story in live-action, a more popular theory brings Venom permanently into the MCU proper. Spider-Man: No Way Home Post credit scene saw Eddie Brock and Venom brought to the MCU by Doctor Strange’s spell, and when he was sent back home, he left a piece of the Venom symbiote in a bar in Mexico. It’s possible that Venom in the SSU could still be connected to that piece of himself across universes, so when Knull destroys his world, he could simply jump to Earth-616.

This would be a clear way to integrate Venom into the main continuity of the MCU with a simple, clear and concise explanation. Many want to see Venom join the MCU, especially since it could finally bring him face-to-face with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, and perhaps hint at Peter Parker getting his black Spider-Man suit. Venom: The Last Dance is the best chance to make that happen, especially by pitting Venom against a supervillain as formidable and seemingly unstoppable as Knull.
There has been speculation that Sony will reboot the SSU (again)
Sony’s Spider-Man universe is not the most successful franchise
Sony’s Spider-Man universe began as a reboot of Sony’s original plans for a shared franchise, which would have featured spinoffs from Marc Webb. The Amazing Spider-Man Movies starring Andrew Garfield. even so, The SSU never really managed to find its footing, and delivered increasingly inferior projects as it developedwith Morbius And Madam WebbIn particular, be advised. These movies are considered two of the worst superhero movies of all time, so it would make sense that Sony might want to review the franchise and start over.
Introducing Knull and letting him destroy the world in Venom: The Last Dance would be a surefire way to end Sony’s Spider-Man universe, and create the opportunity for a new, and hopefully better, franchise to take its place. The relationship between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios seems to be strengthening with each new one Spider-Man Movie in the MCU. This means that a new Marvel franchise from Sony could be more closely related to its more successful cousinWhich would seriously benefit Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and the future of the MCU.
Kraven the hunter can tell a story no one expected if the SSU is rebooted
Kraven The Hunter is scheduled to be released in December 2024
If Knull will delete Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Venom: The Last DanceThe onus will fall on Kraven the Hunter To decide the future of Sony’s Marvel movies. Kraven the Hunter is scheduled to be released in December 2024, but is currently the final movie in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’s upcoming slate. This could suggest that Sony has planned a reboot of the following franchise The Last Dancewith Kraven the Hunter Kicking off the new franchiseAnd subsequent projects are kept under wraps, but this could also indicate something much more game-changing.
