Serkis then noted that the trailer even held a hint to the MCU.

Within it, Stephen Graham’s character, Detective Mulligan, can be seen reading a copy of the Daily Bugle newspaper. This is the newspaper Parker traditionally works at, which is owned by his boss, J Jonah Jameson.

The director continued: “Venom’s story is his own world, there are nods and little moments just like this newspaper The Daily Bugle of course.

“But on the whole, he’s unaware, they are unaware at this point of other characters like Spider-Man.”
