As of February 2026, no official Venom 4 project has been announced by Sony Pictures, yet dozens of fan-made “trailers” for Venom 4: King in Black (2026) — starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom and Tom Holland as Spider-Man — have racked up millions of views across YouTube and social platforms. These AI-enhanced, edited montages tease a cosmic showdown against Knull, the ancient god of symbiotes, blending horror, action, and long-desired crossover elements that keep the internet buzzing.

The real story is more grounded. Venom: The Last Dance (2024), the third film in the trilogy, wrapped Eddie and Venom’s arc with a sacrificial finale and a post-credits tease of Knull (voiced briefly, face hidden). Director Kelly Marcel described it as the end of the Eddie-Venom saga while planting seeds for future SSU stories. “We were asked to do three, we’ve delivered three,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in late 2024. Hardy has left the door cracked open for returns, hinting at interest in Spider-Man crossovers, but no contracts or development updates have emerged.

Fan concepts fill the gap aggressively. Typical trailers open in absolute darkness: a pulsing alien heartbeat, Knull’s deep voice declaring “All symbiotes… kneel.” Earth skies darken as symbiote dragons swarm, tendrils choke skylines, and Eddie/Venom confronts his creator in terror. Holland’s Spider-Man enters via multiverse flashes — web-slinging through rifts, quipping before realizing the stakes, often bonding temporarily with Venom for power-ups. Epic lines like “Darkness has a king — and it remembers my name” or “Fuse with me or watch your world burn” dominate, set to thundering scores and slow-motion decapitations.

These videos draw heavily from Marvel Comics’ 2020-2021 King in Black event, where Knull invades Earth with a symbiote army, forcing heroes (including Venom and Spider-Man) into desperate alliances. Fans praise the trailers’ visuals — shadowy tendrils, lightning-streaked Quickening-like energy, and Hardy’s gravelly intensity — while others call them over-the-top fantasy or “fake” hype machines.

Production reality tempers the excitement. Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has focused on standalone anti-heroes (Morbius, Madame Web, Kraven the Hunter) with mixed box-office results. Venom: The Last Dance grossed over $700 million worldwide despite mixed reviews, proving the brand’s draw, but Marcel emphasized laying groundwork for others to continue Knull’s arc without Hardy. No director, writer, or release window has been confirmed; speculation points to 2027 or later if greenlit.

Holland’s involvement remains pure fan fiction. His MCU Spider-Man appeared briefly in No Way Home‘s post-credits (a symbiote piece left behind), sparking crossover dreams, but the SSU and MCU stay separate under current deals. Holland is busy with Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 2026) and Avengers films; no reports tie him to Sony’s symbiote side.

The trailers succeed by tapping nostalgia and desire: Venom’s chaotic humor vs. Knull’s unrelenting horror, Eddie’s fractured bond with his alien partner, Spider-Man’s optimism clashing with cosmic dread. Comments sections overflow with debates — “This is the dark Venom we need!” vs. “Just let the trilogy end” — and calls for official announcements.

Sony has stayed mum, focusing on current slate. If a Venom 4 moves forward, Knull offers blockbuster potential: galaxy-spanning stakes, massive VFX symbiote armies, and emotional depth from Eddie’s “family” with Venom. Hardy’s physical commitment and the character’s cult following could justify it, especially if crossovers bridge SSU-MCU gaps.

For now, these viral concepts keep the symbiote alive in fans’ imaginations. Whether Knull truly rises — with or without Spider-Man — depends on Sony’s next move. Until an official word drops, the darkness waits… and the internet keeps feeding it views.
