The actor behindVenom 3’s mysterious villain Knull has been revealed, and it’s none other than the director of the second Venom movie Andy Serkis.
When asked if it was strange to direct the director ofVenom: Let There Be Carnage, Venom 3 helmer Kelly Marcel let the news slip. “Oh my God, I love Andy [Serkis] so much. We all love Andy. We knew on Venom 2 that he was going to be this [Knull] character, should we be able to bring the character into this movie,” said Marcel in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter. “He was the only person we asked, and of course, he was thrilled and excited.”
It is no surprise that Serkis is behind the illusive Marvel villain as the star is best known for his voice acting and motion capture roles, from Gollum in The Lord of The Rings trilogy to Caeser in some of the Planet of the Apes movies. In an interview withGamesRadar+, Marcel told us, “We all know it’s Andy Serkis, who I think is the most brilliant voice actor there is. And Knull is mo-cap and CGI, which is what he’s famous for and brilliant at.”
Venom 3 is the final movie inSony’s Venom franchise and sees Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock team up with his symbiote buddy Venom once again to take on threats from both of their worlds. Alongside Hardy and Serkis, the movie also stars Peggy Lu as Mrs. Chen and Stephen Graham as Patrick Mulligan, as well as Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
