Online rumors gave flame to the fire of a possible Knull introduction in the new movie. The theory had fans divided, some were excited about the amalgamation while others, not so much. However, one online post gave people a much-needed breather.

The rumor mills are churning: No Knull, maybe

A comment on the social media site X claimed that a trustworthy source denied popular speculations about the next Spider-Man movie. This comment gave rise to speculations that maybe the rumor of Knull’s role in the upcoming movie was false.

A reliable source told me that everyone is wrong about Spider-Man 4, whatever that means

Is it about Knull? Cause ever since you started to doubt Knull, things began not to add up at all. Like, the hell is Sony doing with Knull, if not Spider-Man 4?

so it’s not a multiverse film with knull? thank god 🙏

Never wanted Knull in it,hope it’s Kingpin and The Scorpion as the villians so it connects to Daredevil: Born Again

Yeah Knull isn’t in Spider-Man 4, that’s kinda obvious after venom’s box office and ending

Meaning no King In Black like so many are guessing at currently.

No Knull, No Venom, No Battleworld, No Kingpin then?

Comments on the post reflected fans’ opinions about the possible theory, mostly thankful about the rejection of the speculation. Though Sony teased about their plans for the Symbiotic god, it is possible he won’t be a part of the MCU anytime soon.

The character, voiced byAndy Serkis, appeared inVenom: The Last Dance,which raised the stakes for Eddie Brock (played byTom Hardy) and Venom. Although a lot of his backstory has not been explored yet, it is possible the ancient being could become an antagonist for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
