Exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – the first footage of the highly anticipated Venom live-action crossover has been released. This animated sequel promises to bring together different universes, including the Venom and LEGO universes, and speculation has been rife about potential cameos.

The Return Of Venom’s Mrs. Chen:

A recent TV spot for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse unveils a surprise appearance by Peggy Lu’s Mrs. Chen from Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The footage shows The Spot, a character from the Venom universe, making a cameo and attempting to steal from Mrs. Chen’s store.

Mrs. Chen encounters The Spot and expresses annoyance, questioning his intentions. The Spot, being a self-proclaimed villain, sarcastically declares his intention to rob her, causing an eye roll from the store owner.

The TV spot cleverly incorporates reused footage and unused shots from Venom: Let There Be Carnage, blending them seamlessly with the animated world of Across the Spider-Verse. It borrows the opening shot from Venom: Let There Be Carnage, where Michelle Williams’ Anne Weying enters the store to speak with Mrs. Chen about Venom. The footage is enhanced with increased contrast and brightness, while zooming in on Mrs. Chen. Notably, Peggy Lu’s line read of “What do you want?” is seemingly reused in this TV spot.

Speculations And Quality:

Some fans might be disappointed to learn that the rumors of Mrs. Chen’s live-action inclusion and the integration of Venom’s live-action universe in Across the Spider-Verse are primarily based on unused footage from Let There Be Carnage. The scene featured in the TV spot appears to be more of a marketing stunt rather than an actual scene in the film. The quality of The Spot’s integration into the scene is also questionable, with the lighting on his character model not matching the surroundings, possibly indicating a discrepancy in production quality.

The Misunderstanding:

The origins of the rumor regarding Mrs. Chen’s appearance in the movie are unclear. It is possible that this particular commercial was mistaken for an actual scene from the film, leading to the widespread speculation in March.

Fans eagerly anticipating Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will soon find out the truth when the film hits theaters on Friday, June 2. While the TV spot offers an exciting glimpse into a potential crossover between the Venom live-action universe and the Spider-Verse, it remains to be seen how much of it will materialize in the final film.
