If you are wondering who this big bad is, well, it's Knull (aka one of the best Marvel villains of all time). The trailer hints that we’ll learn more about this famous comic character in the film, as well as get some details into Venom’s back story. Exciting times!

Venom 3 cast
So far, the Venom 3 cast features actors playing plenty of mysteriously unknown characters. It's also currently unclear who will be playing Knull. So stay tuned for details!
In the meantime, here's the Venom 3 cast list that we know so far:
- Tom Hardy – Eddie Brock/Venom (voice)
- Chiwetel Ejiofor – TBC

- Rhys Ifans – Martin

Venom 3 plot
The official Venom 3 synopsis reads as follows: "In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie's last dance." (H/T Deadline)
As we can see from the trailer, we can expect Eddie and Venom to continue their unlikely, crime-fighting team up – as well as… a Venom horse? We know that Knull is going to be involved as well.
There's also the matter of the multiverse, with Cristo Fernández returning as the bartender opening a can of worms, since he should be in the MCU and not the Sony-verse. We'll just have to wait and see how that gets resolved, but in the meantime, it may be worth watching all the Marvel movies in order and refreshing your Spider-Man knowledge ahead of the new film.
