Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Venom: The Last DanceThe live-action debut of Knull inVenom: The Last Dancecould lead to aSpider-Man: No Way Homedream coming true for Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. Taking place in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe rather than in the MCU, theVenomtrilogy has just reached its conclusion withThe Last Dance. However, the emergence of Knul may finally give this universe an actual Spider-Man who’s yet to be identified.
Sony’sVenommovies,Morbius,Madame Web, andKraven the Hunterare all set in what’s been referred to as"Sony’s Spider-Man Universe". However, an official Spider-Man has yet to make an appearance in Sony’s current universe, seeing as how the animatedSpider-Versemovies take place all over the multiverse, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man exists in the MCU, and Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parkers exist in their own separate realities.That said, there is a way Knull could make a dream of Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man come true, while also fulfilling many fans' dreams for the Websliger as well.
Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Never Got To Fight An Alien
Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire’s Webslingers Have
Serving as one of the best sequences inSpider-Man: No Way Home, all three Spider-Men get to compare notes about their past exploits before all the displaced villains come to the Statue of Liberty. Not only do the three Peter Parkers get to bond and ask each other questions, butan interesting distinction is made between Garfield’s Spider-Man and his fellow variants: he’s never fought an alien.While the firstAmazing Spider-Mansaw Garfield’s Peter fighting The Lizard, the second movie featured Rhino, Electro, and Harry Osborn’s Green Goblin.
Conversely, both Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Men have fought aliens. InSpider-Man 3, Maguire’s Peter fights his reality’s version of Venom after spending some time wearing the symbiote. Likewise,Holland’s Spider-Man fought Thanos alongside the Avengersin bothInfinity WarandEndgame. To that end,Garfield can be heard complaining inNo Way Homethat he also wants to fight an alien after hearing about his fellow Spider-Men and their respective black and purple extraterrestrials.
Venom 3 Has Introduced Knull As A Major Alien Threat In The Sony Universe
“The King in Black Is Awake”
Keeping Garfield’s Peter Parker and hisNo Way Homehopes in mind, it does feel rather significant that a brand-new and extremely powerful alien has just debuted in live-action withVenom: The Last Dance.Also known as the King in Black, Knull the Symbiote God is a major threat, currently seeking to break free from his cosmic prison to drown the entire universe in darkness.However, his symbiote-hunting xenophages ultimately fail to bring him the key to his release from Venom and Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock by the end ofThe Last Dance.
Venom 3: What Does King In Black Mean & What It Sets Up For Sony’s Marvel Universe
Venom: The Last Dance introduces Knull’s cosmic title as the King in Black. Here’s what it means and what it sets up for Sony’s Marvel universe.
That being said,Venom 3’spost-credits scenemakes it pretty clear that it’s only a matter of time before the King in Black is free once more. Knull is also one of those Marvel villains who’s so powerful that he’s likely going to require multiple characters to bring him down.To that end, it would be very exciting if Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man was somehow involved in this future conflict, finally fulfilling his wish to fight an alien. However, one can imagine that he might regret that wish when and if he sees all that the King in Black is capable of.
The Time May Have Finally Come For Garfield To Be The Sony Universe Spider-Man
Making Peter 3’s No Way Home Dream A Dark Reality
Several Spider-Man fans would love to see more of Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, especially if it was finally revealed that he is indeed the Webslinger of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, as many fans have wanted from the very beginning. Likewise, it wouldn’t be all that surprising ifKnull was revealed to be a threat to the entire multiverse.Even then, Garfield’s Spider-Man could still be involved by hopping universes once more if Sony’s Spider-Verse heroes were to join with MCU heroes to take on the King in Black. At the end of the day, it would still make hisNo Way Homedreams of fighting an alien a reality.

For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the trials and tribulations of being a superhero. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) asks for help from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) when his identity becomes a problem for the ones he loves. Unfortunately, when the spell goes wrong, Spider-Man will now have to face off with villains such as Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina) and Electro (Jamie Foxx) as Peter finally comes to terms that he can’t run from being Spider-Man. Supported by his close friends and help from an unexpected place (or multiverse), Spider-Man will go toe-to-toe with some of the most legendary foes in his storied history.
