Venom: The Last Dance director Kelly Marcel revealed while speaking with IGN that Rhys Ifans’s appearance in the trailer is not connected to what fans think. She admitted that he is not playing Spiderman’s Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard but will star as a new character.
Marcel explained, “It’s not uncommon for actors to be cast as different Marvel characters across various films, and this is no different. The best actors were cast, and Rhys is no exception. He plays a new and different character in an enjoyable and important role, and I am so excited for people’s reaction to his wonderful performance.”
Is Knull The Last Dance’s Main Villain?
In the conversation, Marcel also reflected on the debut of Marvel’s villain Knull for Venom: The Last Dance. She admitted that one movie would never do justice to such a big villain, teasing fans that they can expect to see Knull in other upcoming films.

This is just the beginning for Knull.” Aren’t we excited to see the badass on the big screen?
Marcel further shared that Venom: The Last Dance would only introduce Knull to the fans, but it would be the beginning of his story. Of course, fans want to see more of him, and being
Marvel’s most significant film villain, building his stories will take time.
