Director Kelly Marcel Reveals Why Andy Serkis Was Cast as Knull in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’

In the latest Marvel film, ‘Venom: The Last Dance,’ Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, is introduced, making a significant impact on Venom’s universe. Knull becomes Eddie Brock’s arch-nemesis, raising the stakes for potential future movies.

Although Knull’s story is still unclear, rumors suggest he may appear in a possible ‘Venom 4’ and an upcoming Spider-Man film.

Kelly Marcel, the film’s writer and director, recently shared her thoughts on casting Andy Serkis as Knull. She mentioned that Serkis has been considered for the role since ‘Venom 2,’ where he served as director.

Marcel praised Serkis’s talent in CGI motion capture and voice acting, saying, “He’s the greatest. We always knew it would be Andy. We love Andy, and it felt right.”

His casting was influenced by the strong impact he had on the Venom series, starting from his role as director in the second film.

Serkis’s close connection with the production team and understanding of the franchise’s creative direction made him the perfect choice for Knull.

Returning to his iconic role, Tom Hardy delves deeper into the complicated relationship between Eddie and Venom, facing challenges that lead them to a critical turning point.

The movie also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, Stephen Graham, and Rhys Ifans, forming a diverse and dynamic cast.

Now showing in theaters, the film is produced by a team that includes Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy, and Hutch Parker.
