Who Is Playing Knull In Venom: The Last Dance?; A Look At The 3 Most Popular Fan Theories

Ever since the final trailer of Venom: The Last Dance introduced us to the King in Black, Knull, fan theories on who will play the creator of the symbiotes have been abundant. While no official announcement has been made, fan theories have spread like wildfire on the internet.

Here are three actors who could be playing Knull in Venom: The Last Dance

Norman Reedus

Soon after the release of the final trailer, the most popular theory on the internet was that Norman Reedus was cast as the iconic villain. Fans are hoping that Reedus will take up the mantle and deliver an iconic performance, as he did on The Walking Dead. Seeing Reedus join a Marvel project would certainly be a thrilling prospect for many fans.

Rhys Ifans

Rhys Ifans has previously starred in The Amazing Spider-Man as Dr. Curtis Connors and was briefly seen as a guitar-playing hippie in the trailer. However, according to many fan theories, Ifans' talents would not be wasted on a non-important role, and his hippie get-up is most likely a misdirect to draw attention away from his real role as Knull. From the brief shot seen of Knull, it could very well be Rhys Ifans in the long hair and makeup.

Stephen Graham

Stephen Graham was first introduced to the Venom Franchise as Detective Patrick Mulligan in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, where he was infected by the symbiote Toxin at the end of the film. In the trailer, we see him with glowing green eyes, warning the humans that as long as Venom lives, everything will end. While one possibility is that it is just the symbiote talking, fans think that Knull has possessed the detective through the hive mind, making him a herald for the creator of the symbiotes.

Since there has been no official confirmation yet on who is playing Knull in Venom: The Last Dance, fans will just have to wait until the film releases in theatres on October 25th, 2024 to find out.
