WARNING: This article includes SPOILERS from Venom: The Last Dance.Following the ending ofVenom: The Last Dance, Knull battles Tom Holland’s web-slinger in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in aSpider-Man 4concept trailer.The MCU timelinewill soon see the return of Peter Parker, following the massive conclusion toSpider-Man: No Way Homein 2021. AsSpider-Man 4is in development, the audience is actively waiting for any new story details and what is next for the Marvel hero.
WithSpider-Man 4eying a production start in the summer of 2025, more clues about the overall story are bound to emerge over the next few months. But in the meantime,Screen Cultureshared a new proof-of-concept Spider-Man 4 trailer, pitching a different multiverse arc for Holland’s MCU hero. Check it out below.
TitledSpider-Man 4: King In Black,the concept trailer sees Andy Serkis' Knull fromVenom: The Last Danceserve as the big bad of the Phase 6 installment, following the conclusion to Tom Hardy’s latest Marvel film.Spider-Man 4: King In Blackalso brings another highly-demanded wish to life as Holland’s Spider-Man gets depicted donning the symbiote suit at last.
What The Spider-Man 4: King In Black Concept Trailer Means For Tom Holland’s Sequel
Even thoughVenom: The Last Danceonly gave a taste of Knull,the Marvel foe is definitely someone that can be utilized more after the latest film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. IftheSpider-Man 4storydoes end up somehow tackling the symbiote concept in one way or another, Knull would have a very organic reason to be included in the overall arc. It would also give Spider-Man another threat of his own that would naturally exclude the need for the Avengers and other MCU heroes.
With rumors having emerged that one of the reasons why it has taken as long as it has fornewSpider-Man 4detailsto emerge until very recently was, supposedly,because Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures were not united on whether or not to do a street-level story or revisit the multiverse concept, theSpider-Man 4: King In Blackconcept trailer makes a good case for how another multiverse plot could work if Knull is part of the equation. However, with many other MCU plot threads tied to Holland’s Spider-Man, it’s also possibleSpider-Man 4will remain separate.
Our Take On The Spider-Man 4: King In Black Concept Trailer
While time will tell what happens to Knull after his debut inSony’s Spider-Man Universe,if Spider-Man 4 is truly going for another multiverse arc again, then it would make sense to have him as a big bad for Holland’s Phase 6 film. Not only would it give Sony’s Spider-Man Universe a more active role within the MCU multiverse, but it could finally give that franchise an actual Spider-Man to deal with after all these years. But for now, time will tell what kind of story is being set up for Holland’sSpider-Man 4.
