“It’s the last one, and we want to go out with a bang and lay the foundations for optionality and possibilities because it’s been such a great ride,” he told Forbes in June 2024. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working within that field and remit of a big film with big ideas, and a lot of people looking to you to back that up.”

In the final trailer of Venom 3, fans only get a brief glimpse at Knull. As the character looks down at his clawed hand, viewers only see him surrounded by symbiotes.
