All The Evidence The MCU Is Setting Up Marvel Villain Knull

:0:0

Multiple developments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe lay the groundwork for Knull to join the MCU as a major villain. A fairly recent addition to Marvel’s stable of characters, Knull is a top-tier threat and an antagonist easily capable of serving as a Thanos-level villain in a future MCU project. However, Marvel has no confirmed plans to use the character.
The MCU’s Multiverse Saga already has a clear villain in Kang the Conqueror, but that’s not to say he’s the only character the heroes need to be worried about going forward. As busy as Jonathan Majors is likely to be with his Kang role over the next few years, he won’t cast a shadow over every MCU movie and show between now and the end of the Multiverse Saga. The MCU is likely to juggle several villains as the Multiverse Saga plays out, while also providing gradual setup for villains capable of succeeding Kang in Phase 7 and beyond. In fact, one Marvel Comics character stands out as a top candidate for Marvel’s next big villain. Here’s all the evidence the MCU is building toward Knull.
Knull Already Has A Reason To Begin His Marvel Comics Plan

The crux of Knull’s arc already has a presence in the MCU. Years after introducing the Celestials in Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel fully delved into the concept of the Space Gods in Phase 4’s Eternals movie. Thanks to the film, Marvel has fleshed out a key part of Knull’s story. In the comic books, Knull harbors a hatred of the Celestials, with whom he shares a history that goes back several millennia. Just as it is in the MCU, the Celestials are responsible for all the planets and the intelligent life in the universe. Apparently, it was these activities that first incurred Knull’s wrath.
Knull, an ancient and evil god, dwelled in complete darkness and enjoyed his empty, lifeless world – known as the Abyss – millions of years ago. Everything changed for Knull when the Celestials entered the Abyss and began populating the universe with life and planets for its creations to inhabit. The Celestials intended to coexist with Knull, but he made them his sworn enemies by striking out against them. His conflict with the Celestials stretched across millions of years. In a present-day storyline titled “King in Black,” Knull endeavored to wipe out the Celestials and defeat the heroes of the Marvel Universe all in an effort to restore the Abyss to what it once was.
The backbone for the battle with Knull is in place now that the origin of the Marvel Universe has been carried over to the MCU. Like his comic counterpart, Knull could be lurking somewhere in Marvel’s world, waiting for his chance to begin his crusade against the cosmic beings who brought an end to the darkness. Since Eternals set up a handful of its characters battling the Celestials, it’s possible that events in a potential Eternals 2 will weaken the Celestials enough to inspire Knull into action.
