Did ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Just Reveal the Truth About the Celestial’s Head and “Knowhere” in the MCU?

by

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for Marvel lore that rivals even the Avengers’ combined IQ, the intriguing theory connecting “Venom: The Last Dance” and Knowhere has me hooked! The idea that Knull, this cosmic heavyweight villain, could have had a hand in severing a Celestial head and leaving it as a galactic hotspot is just too tantalizing to ignore.

The Last Dance could potentially provide clarification on this!

Hey there fellow Marvel enthusiast! You might be aware that “Knowhere” is a unique cosmic location, essentially the disembodied head of a Cosmic Entity known as a Celestial. Yet, in the grand scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve never been privy to the intriguing details about how this head was severed or which specific Celestial it hails from.

Centuries past, the Tivan Group initiated excavation within the hollowed-out cranium of a Celestial, gathering precious bone matter, brain material, and spinal fluid. Lawlessness reigned, making Knowhere a refuge for intergalactic criminals. This is where the narrative of this cosmic head unfolds in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the recently released “Guardians of the Galaxy” film, Knowhere now serves as the base for the superhero squad and provides sanctuary to the kids and scientific projects that were saved from the spaceship belonging to the High Evolutionary.

However, let me clarify how this ties into Venom 3 – In Venom: The Last Dance, we were introduced to Knull, the King in Black. This character is one of the most formidable and terrifying villains within the Marvel Universe, boasting a very somber past.

Originally dormant in the void, a vast space separating one cosmos from another, resided an ancient, malevolent deity known as Knull. Born from the darkness that predated him, he slumbered peacefully until the arrival of the Celestials triggered the birth of the universe. This awakening stirred Knull from his eternal slumber.

Instead of being chosen as the King in Black, a guardian of the newly formed cosmos, Knull opted out and became enraged. To express his fury, he fashioned a sword from pure darkness that pulsed with life and beheaded one of the Celestials.

Initially, the other celestial beings hurled him into nothingness, yet Knull transformed the skull of the fallen celestial into the mighty weapon known as All-Black the Necrosword. He also forged a menacing suit of armor from darkness and ignited a brutal war against deities and all living creatures, evolving into the fearsome figure we recognize today.

You may find yourself pondering the connection between the disembodied Celestial head in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Knull in Sony’s Spider-Man universe.

As a gamer immersed in this cosmic adventure, I’ve come to realize that Knull isn’t confined to a single realm; he’s a Multiversal menace, capable of traversing various realities with ease. This notion has been subtly suggested for the King in Black, now that he’s made his grand entrance in the SSU (Secret Secrets Universe).

As a gamer, I’ve been pondering: Could it be that old Knull swung by Earth-616 at some point, or perhaps he hails from there and had a run-in with the Celestials that left him seething? If Knull has prior knowledge of Earth-616, it might shed light on why Gorr wields All-Black the Necrosword.

In the movie “Thor: Love and Thunder,” the origins of the sword are traced back to the Dark Shadow Lord, and later it comes into possession of Gorr. However, this origin story for the Necrosword isn’t particularly compelling because in Marvel Comics, the Necrosword is a highly renowned weapon, deeply connected to Knull, rather than the Dark Shadow Lord.

Traveling across the Multiverse might offer an opportunity for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to unveil the genuine origin of the sword and establish a stronger connection between Knull and Gorr.
