Key Points:
- Rhys Ifans, known for playing The Lizard, returns in Venom: The Last Dance trailer.
- His role remains a mystery, with fans speculating he could be playing Knull or another Marvel character.
- Venom: The Last Dance introduces Knull, the symbiote god, as the main villain.
The latest trailer for Venom: The Last Dance has left fans buzzing with excitement and questions. One of the biggest surprises is the appearance of Rhys Ifans, best known for playing Dr. Curt Connors, aka The Lizard, in The Amazing Spider-Man. While Ifans’ involvement in the film was revealed earlier this year, his character’s identity remains a mystery. Is he reprising his role as The Lizard, or is he portraying a brand-new villain? Fans are speculating, and here’s what we know so far.
Is Rhys Ifans Returning as The Lizard?
Rhys Ifans played a major role in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) as Dr. Curt Connors, who eventually transforms into The Lizard. Fans are wondering if he’s reprising that role in Venom: The Last Dance. While it’s possible, it doesn’t seem likely. The Venom films so far haven’t acknowledged a Spider-Man in their universe, and The Lizard doesn’t have a clear place in this storyline.
While Spider-Man: No Way Home briefly brought Ifans’ Lizard character back to the big screen, it was more of a CGI appearance, with Ifans mainly providing the voice. Given that the Venom series exists outside of the Amazing Spider-Man universe, the chance of The Lizard showing up here is slim. So, who is Ifans playing in Venom: The Last Dance?

Could Ifans Be Playing Knull in Venom: The Last Dance?
A much more intriguing possibility is that Rhys Ifans is playing Knull, the symbiote god, who has been confirmed as the main villain of Venom: The Last Dance. In the latest trailer, we catch a glimpse of a mysterious figure who bears a resemblance to Ifans. This character has long, blond hair and a sinister presence, much like Knull in the comics.

Knull is one of the most feared villains in Marvel’s universe, and his introduction to the Venom films marks a new level of danger for Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy). The character’s armor and twisted smile, as shown in the trailer, match Knull’s comic appearance. Ifans’ portrayal of Knull could be a nod to his past as a major Spider-Man villain, much like other legacy actors in comic book films.
