00:00I will reward you with your lives.
00:05There's been a lot of talk going around that Sony might try to make a solo movie just for Null
00:10before using him anywhere else,
00:11but that idea honestly doesn't feel like the right move.
00:14It might sound exciting at first, because Null is such a huge and powerful character,
00:19but his story is way too big to be squeezed into a single film.
00:23Because of that, it makes more sense to look at him as something larger,
00:27something that builds over time instead of being rushed.
00:30So instead of thinking about one standalone movie,
00:33it's better to think about how Null could shape multiple projects,
00:36especially if he's being set up as a major force in the universe.
00:40After that big reveal, it really starts to feel like Sony's Spider-Man universe has some serious long-term plans
00:47for Null,
00:48especially following his debut in Venom The Last Dance.
00:51That movie is set to release on October 25th,
00:55and the subtitle alone already gives off the feeling that this might be the final solo story for Venom.
01:01But right after that, Kraven the Hunter is coming out on December 13th,
01:06which continues Sony's pattern of building origin stories for Spider-Man villains.
01:11Although when you look beyond those two films,
01:13things get a bit unclear, because there aren't many confirmed projects lined up.
01:17And that kind of silence makes it seem like Sony is waiting to see how these upcoming movies perform
01:23before committing to anything bigger.
01:25That situation actually makes sense when you consider how the previous films did.
01:29Movies like Morbius and Madam Web didn't perform well,
01:33so it's understandable that the studio might be cautious now.
01:36If the next couple of movies don't succeed either,
01:39it could seriously hurt the future of the entire franchise.
01:42But even though the release slate looks empty,
01:45the reveal of Null changes the conversation a lot.
01:48It suggests that there are still big ideas behind the scenes,
01:52even if they haven't been officially announced yet.
01:54When it comes to Null himself, he's not just another villain,
01:57he's being introduced as the main antagonist in Venom The Last Dance,
02:01and that already puts him on a completely different level.
02:04The trailers have shown glimpses of him,
02:06and they confirm that he's the creator of the symbiotes.
02:09He's also the one responsible for sending waves of symbiote creatures to Earth,
02:14which instantly raises the stakes.
02:17Even though the footage doesn't reveal too much about him,
02:19there's a lot from the comics that helps explain what kind of character he is
02:23and why he matters so much.
02:25In the comics, Null is basically a primordial god
02:28who existed before most of the universe even took shape.
02:31He lived in darkness,
02:32and when light entered his realm, it disrupted everything.
02:36Because of that, he created the first symbiote and used it to forge a weapon known as the Necrosword.
02:42He even managed to kill a celestial, which shows just how powerful he really is.
02:47After that, he created an entire race of symbiotes from a living abyss,
02:51controlling them as part of a massive hive mind.
02:54Instead of being just a villain with a plan,
02:56he's more like a force of nature that spreads across worlds.
02:59This is also where creatures like symbiote dragons come into play,
03:03which adds another layer to how massive his story can get.
03:06But eventually, his connection to the symbiotes was broken,
03:10which allowed them to develop independence.
03:12That shift is important,
03:14because it shows that even something created for destruction can change over time.
03:19But Null himself doesn't change in the same way,
03:21and when he eventually returns, it leads to another massive invasion.
03:25When you look at all of that, it becomes clear that Null isn't the kind of character you introduce
03:30and then wrap up in a single movie.
03:33He's more like a long-term threat, similar to how Thanos was used in the MCU.
03:38Thanos didn't just appear out of nowhere and get defeated right away.
03:41He was built up slowly over several movies,
03:44even though he was mostly in the background at first.
03:47And because of that, his eventual arrival felt much bigger and more meaningful.
03:52Null should be treated in a similar way,
03:54even though he's arguably even more powerful.
03:57While Thanos was incredibly strong,
03:59he was still a mortal being at the end of the day.
04:02Null, on the other hand, is more like an ancient god,
04:05which makes his presence even more dangerous.
04:07But that also means his story needs time to develop,
04:11because if everything happens too quickly, it won't have the same impact.
04:15It's also worth noting that Sony seems to be taking a slightly different approach with Null
04:19compared to how Marvel handled Thanos.
04:21Thanos was teased for years before becoming the main villain,
04:26but Null is already being introduced more directly.
04:28Even though there were small hints before,
04:31like Venom mentioning the vast hive knowledge of the symbiotes,
04:34it wasn't as obvious.
04:36Now, with his appearance in Venom The Last Dance,
04:39things are moving much faster.
04:40But that doesn't necessarily mean his story will end there.
04:44If anything, his debut could just be the beginning of something bigger.
04:47If Sony is planning to connect its characters more tightly,
04:52Null could be the central threat that brings them all together.
04:55Characters like Venom, Morbius, Kraven, and possibly even Spider-Man
04:59could all be affected by his presence.
05:01And that kind of shared conflict is exactly what the franchise needs
05:05if it wants to feel more connected and cohesive.
05:08Another important point is that Null's storyline in the comics,
05:12especially the King in Black arc, is massive.
05:16It involves multiple characters, multiple locations,
05:19and a scale that's much larger than a single film can handle.
05:23Even though Sony doesn't have access to every Marvel character,
05:26they still have enough to adapt the core idea.
05:28They can replace certain heroes with their own lineup
05:31and still tell a story that captures the same level of intensity.
05:35Now, when you look at the title, The Last Dance,
05:37it raises some interesting possibilities.
05:39It strongly suggests that something major is going to happen to Venom,
05:44possibly even his death.
05:45And while that might seem like a risky decision,
05:48it could actually work in favor of the larger story.
05:51If Null defeats Venom,
05:53it immediately establishes him as a serious threat.
05:56It also creates a turning point for the rest of the characters
05:59because they would have to step up
06:01and face something much bigger than anything they've dealt with before.
06:05This kind of moment would be similar to when Thanos won in Infinity War
06:09because it shifts the tone completely.
06:11Instead of ending things neatly,
06:13it leaves the story open for a bigger continuation.
06:16And that's exactly what Null needs
06:18because his presence should feel ongoing, not temporary.
06:22So even if Venom falls,
06:24it doesn't mean the story ends there.
06:26In fact, it could just be the start of a larger conflict.
06:30There's also the possibility
06:31that Spider-Man could take a more central role after that.
06:34If Venom is no longer the main focus,
06:37the franchise would need another character
06:39to lead the story forward.
06:40And Spider-Man is the obvious choice,
06:43especially since he has such a strong connection
06:45to the symbiote storyline.
06:47That shift could help redefine the direction of the universe,
06:50making it feel more unified.
06:53Of course, there's still a chance
06:54that the movie could take a different route
06:56and end with both Venom and Null being defeated.
06:59That would create a dramatic and emotional ending,
07:01especially if it involves a sacrifice.
07:04It would also wrap up Venom's story in a powerful way.
07:07But at the same time,
07:09it would limit the future potential of the franchise
07:11because it removes one of its biggest threats.
07:14So when you put everything together,
07:17it becomes clear that Null's role
07:18shouldn't be limited to just one movie.
07:21His story is too big,
07:23his power is too significant,
07:25and his impact is too wide to be contained like that.
07:29But if they rush his story or limit it too much,
07:33it could end up feeling wasted.
07:35So while nothing is confirmed yet,
07:38the smartest approach would be
07:39to let his story unfold across multiple films,
07:42building towards something bigger
07:43instead of trying to do everything at once.
