Earlier this year, it was rumoured that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse would feature at least one live-action cameo.
As you might expect, speculation immediately started running rampant about Tom Holland swinging into the sequel, but a later report claimed otherwise. In that, the big surprise was said to be an appearance from Venom supporting character Mrs. Chen (Peggy Lu), making this nod to the live-action Spider-Verse feel a little tacked on.
Now, reliable leaker @Cryptic4KQual has shared a screenshot from a TV spot which not only confirms the rumours but shows The Spot crossing paths with Mrs. Chen while briefly visiting her reality.
This will clearly be a new aspect of the villain's powers which make him a threat to the entire Multiverse. It looks like he's buying (or offering) some "Venomint" gum, though it's hard to say whether this is going to open the door to Eddie Brock himself showing up. If a cameo that massive is on the way, it's likely to be in Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Check out the leaked screenshot below along with an officially released clip.
Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence.
But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
The movie stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, and Oscar Isaac.
