With Venom: The Last Dance already playing in some theaters across the world, spoilers have already begun to leak online. That's inevitable when any movie's international rollout begins a couple of days early, so we'd advise being careful on social media.
However, if you've got this far, chances are you're eager for an early first look at Knull, God of the Symbiotes. The villain only plays a minor role in Venom: The Last Dance, with the idea being to set the stage for him to return somewhere down the line.
Knull's face has been obscured in trailers and TV spots for the threequel, but some leaked images finally reveal his horrifying visage. We can't post those here, though they can be viewed on X.
These screenshots aren't great quality, but we see that Knull is a VFX creation and pretty much identical to his comic book counterpart. There have been a few unflattering comparisons to Jared Leto's Morbius, but aside from them both having pale skin and long hair, they're clearly very different characters.
Crucially, even if the VFX used for Knull doesn't blow fans away in Venom: The Last Dance, there's plenty of time to improve on it. Love or hate this franchise, Venom has always looked great and Sony can do additional work on this sinister big bad down the line.
It's also worth noting that, if the Spider-Man 4 rumours are true, Marvel Studios will utilise a mixture of motion-capture and ILM VFX to bring Knull to life in a way which will be every bit as impressive as The Hulk and Thanos.
