The darkness deepens in Venom 4: King in Black, the boldest and most ambitious chapter of Sony’s symbiote saga. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) has finally come to terms with his bond with Venom, balancing reluctant heroism with the chaos that follows him everywhere. But peace is short-lived when a cosmic terror unlike anything Earth has faced descends from the stars: Knull, the ancient god of the symbiotes.
Awakened from eons of slumber, Knull (rumored casting TBD) arrives on Earth with an endless horde of symbiote dragons, seeking to reclaim his children and plunge the universe into eternal night. His presence is not just a threat to humanity, but to Venom himself, whose existence is tied to the god’s will. For the first time, Eddie and Venom realize they may not be strong enough to survive.
Forced to unite with unlikely allies—including Toxin, Sleeper, and possibly Spider-Man—their war against Knull becomes an all-or-nothing battle for Earth’s survival. As cities fall under symbiote control and entire armies are consumed, Eddie must confront his greatest fear: losing himself completely to Venom, or surrendering to Knull’s control.
Explosive, apocalyptic, and deeply emotional, Venom 4: King in Black explores sacrifice, redemption, and the fragile bond between man and monster. With colossal action sequences, chilling horror elements, and the largest scale of the franchise yet, this installment transforms Venom from anti-hero to Earth’s last, desperate defender.
