Venom 4: King in Black (2025) – Darkness Descends
Following the chaotic events of the previous trilogy, Venom 4: King in Black plunges Eddie Brock into his most harrowing battle yet. An ancient evil returns to Earth: Knull, the god of the symbiotes and a force beyond comprehension. Eddie must confront the echo of everything he has become.
The shadowy threat begins quietly. Eddie spends time balancing his humanity and his bond with Venom. But when the Codex is disrupted, Knull awakens—and unleashes a swarm of symbiote dragons and corrupted creatures upon the world. Cities fall under black tendrils. Heroes vanish. Chaos reigns.
Amid turmoil Eddie forges a reluctant alliance. Spider-Man comes swinging into the fight. Their relationship is charged—mistrust and cooperation intertwine as they stand against the abyss. A brilliant scientist, haunted by her own past, joins their ranks. The three must salvage hope from catastrophe.
The film delivers sprawling battle sequences drenched in horror and adrenaline. Symbiote wings tear through skies. Tendrils choke city streets. Dark architecture crumbles under impossible weight. The visuals are brutal and vivid. Eddie’s internal struggle powers the narrative more than any monster. He is either Earth’s savior or its undoing.
Throughout relentless destruction the emotional stakes remain clear. Eddie faces choices rooted in love, sacrifice, and the burden of power. His voice echoes with regret and determination. Spider-Man reminds him what it means to fight for others. Their fragile trust becomes a symbol of resistance.
When Knull stands atop a darkened skyscraper and the skyline bends beneath his will, the finale hinges on Eddie’s decision. Will he sacrifice what he has left to seal the god away? Or will he forsake humanity and become the next king of darkness?
Venom 4: King in Black is not just an action film. It is a reckoning. When darkness rises, only truth can stand in its way—if light still exists to guide the final strike.
