Knull had the potential to emerge as a far more formidable and frightening antagonist in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe film, Venom: The Last Dance, particularly if his appearance had aligned more closely with the recently disclosed concept art. As the eldritch god of darkness and one of Marvel’s most genuinely fearsome adversaries, Knull’s character is defined by both his dark aesthetics and immense powers. Unfortunately, he was relegated to the background for the majority of the film, with audiences only catching a glimpse of Andy Serkis’ portrayal during a thrilling post-credits scene, which hinted at his potential return in future installments.

Concept artist Karl Lindberg recently showcased original concept art for Knull on ArtStation, an exciting reveal that was shared by TheVenomSite on X. This artwork provides a compelling glimpse of how Knull could have appeared in Venom: The Last Dance, amplifying the character’s terrifying essence and leaving fans wondering what might have been if this vision had been fully realized in the film.
