Venom: The Last Dance featured the live-action debut of the King in Black and God of the Symbiotes, Knull. The character was played by Andy Serkis, and there are future plans for the character after the events of the movie.
Concept Artist Karl Lindberg recently shared some alternate designs for Knull, explaining: “Worked directly with Writer/Director Kelly Marcel to design this creepy villain. Love how he came out in the movie.”
I do have to say that the version of the character in this concept art is way more terrifying than the one featured in the movie.
When previously talking about bringing Knull to life in the movie, writer and director Kelly Marcel said: “So Knull actually was the first character we went in to design for this movie.
“Before Venom-Horse…Xenophage and Knull were the first two [characters] that went into the works in terms of design. We knew we had to get Knull right.
“He’s a massive, massive fan favourite. We wanted to stick as close to the comics as possible in terms of what he looked like.”
As for casting Serkis in the role, she said: “We knew Andy Serkis would be Knull from Venom 2. He was our director on Venom 2; Tom and I were always talking on Venom 2 about what Venom 3 was going to be and we knew we wanted to introduce Knull in the way that we have. At the same time, looking at Andy Serkis every day as he’s directing, [we’re saying] ‘Well, he’s the greatest.'”
