Venom
Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, director Ruben Fleischer continued to neither confirm nor deny if Spider-Man makes an appearance in Venom.
I honestly don’t know what I’m allowed to say. I mean, I know the answer — I’ve seen the movie. But I don’t want to get in trouble for saying something I’m not supposed to.
Elsewhere, Eminem teased a few seconds of his tie-in song for the film’s soundtrack.
