Venom 3: Is this Amazing Spiderman actor playing Knull in The Last Dance?

The final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance has ignited a flurry of fan theories about Rhys Ifans' character. The actor, known for his role as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man, is returning to the Spider-Man universe, but his character's identity remains shrouded in mystery.

Many believe Ifans might be reprising his role as The Lizard, given his previous connection to the franchise. However, the lack of Spider-Man in the Venom universe and the differing cinematic universes cast doubt on this theory.

A more plausible possibility is that Ifans is playing Knull, the symbiote god and the main antagonist in Venom 3. The trailer offers a glimpse of a character resembling Ifans with long, blond hair, matching Knull's comic book appearance.

This casting choice could be a nod to Ifans' previous Spider-Man role, similar to how DC shows like Smallville and Arrow have utilized legacy actors. It would allow Ifans to play a completely new character while acknowledging his significance in the franchise.

However, there's also a chance that Ifans is portraying an entirely new character, unrelated to any existing Marvel comics figure. The final Venom: The Last Dance trailer has certainly left fans with more questions than answers.

With the movie hitting theaters on October 25th, the wait to uncover Rhys Ifans' mysterious role is almost over. Until then, fan theories and speculation will continue to run rampant.
