Marvel fans divided over surprise new Spider-Man casting

Marvel fans appear to be divided over a surprise new casting in the Spider-Man universe.

Last week, Venom: The Last Dance was finally released in cinema which is seemingly the end of Tom Hardy’s role as Eddie Brock. However, as we’ve seen with Robert Downey Jr. in the MCU, nothing is impossible in the world of Marvel.

“Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance,” reads the synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speaking of Rotten Tomatoes, Tom Hardy’s apparent last outing as that the temperamental symbiote has received a mixed reception from the community. While critics currently have it scored at just 37%, the audience has scored Venom: The Last Dance at a more impressive 80%.

The mixed reception from Venom: The Last Dance probably wasn't aided by the fact that its post-credit scene was roasted by Spider-Man fans. Often, hanging around for the credits to end can be rewarding, but that’s not always the case.

Regardless, whatever you may or may not think of Venom: The Last Dance, arguably one of its best moments has to be legendary motion-capture actor Andy Serkis playing the sinister Knull or is it?

“Andy Serkis is officially the voice of Knull in ‘Venom: The Last Dance’” said Louis_DCVN sharing an article from The Hollywood Reporter.

“The dude has eight lines. I hope people aren't expecting anything. It's just a big tease and goes nowhere. He isn't coming to the MCU. This being the last Venom solo movie really was a shame,” exclaimed spraragen88. “This should have been the setup in the first movie's credits scenes. If the trilogy ended with Venom and Carnage teaming up to fight Knull, it would have been amazing.”

“I loved Knull and they are clearly setting him up for more,” replied a hopeful IronMike275. “I think it’d be cool if Tom Holland died in Spider-Man 4, and the piece of symbiote attaches and revives him similar to what it did for Eddie in the first Venom. Then they create a codex and Knull finds his way to the MCU.”

Venom: The Last Dance is available to watch in cinemas now.
