Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is nearly released in theaters on June 1st.
And now a new rumor has spread on the net, due to some Vietnamese promotional materials, which seem to have spoiled a tasty detail. Read only if you are not afraid of spoiling the surprise.
We reiterate: POTENTIAL SPOILERS!
Apparently, in the film there will be a scene in which the Blur ( Jason Schwartzman ), a villain already seen in the trailers , will pop into a certain shop: that of Mrs. Chen ( Peggy Lu ), a character seen in the Venom films . The image comes from the film’s Vietnamese Facebook page, which reads:
After the LEGO Universe, the live-action Venom universe will also appear in the Spider-Verse. And there will be more exciting things to reveal!
Does that mean we’ll see Eddie Brock too? For now obviously there are no official confirmations, but in a film set in the multiverse, moreover produced by the same studio as Venom , anything is possible.
The synopsis of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
While trying to balance his personal and superheroic life, Miles Morales ( Shameik Moore ) collides with a new enemy, the Blur ( Jason Schwartzman ), and discovers the existence of a wall climber army led by Miguel O’Hara / Spider-Man 2099 ( Oscar Isaac ). However, a difference of opinion brings them on a collision course, as you can read in the official synopsis:

After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, the friendly Brooklyn neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted into the Multiverse, where he meets a team of “Spider-Heroes” charged with protecting its existence.
