Venom 4: King in Black (2025)
As of May 2025, there is no official confirmation or release of a film titled Venom 4: King in Black. While fan-made trailers and speculative content have circulated online, these are unofficial creations and not associated with Sony Pictures or Marvel Studios.
Direction & Visuals (Expected Style)
A King in Black adaptation would need massive visual upgrades:
Interstellar scenes, blackened skies, and armies of symbiote dragons
A terrifying and regal design for Knull—pale, eldritch, and ancient
Larger-scale battles than anything seen in Venom: Let There Be Carnage
The film could benefit from a darker tone and more horror-focused direction, similar to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but with symbiotes.
What Could Make It Great
Faithful adaptation of King in Black (the 2020 comic storyline)
Expanding the lore of the symbiotes beyond Earth
Elevating Venom from solo antihero to cosmic protector
Deep emotional stakes, especially if Eddie is forced to sacrifice himself or the symbiote for the greater good
What Could Go Wrong
Overcrowding the plot with too many characters or cameos
Poor CGI or underwhelming visual scale
A rushed script that glosses over Knull’s complexity
Making it too dark without balancing it with the humor and heart of previous Venom films
Final Speculative Verdict:
If done right: 8.5/10 – A bold, horror-infused space epic that brings Venom full circle from antihero to mythic defender.
If done poorly: 5/10 – A messy, CGI-heavy misfire that loses the grounded charm of the earlier films.
