"All those questions are ones that we’ve purposefully not focused on right now," Serkis said. "I don’t want to give any fake hope or false information about things that may be happening in the future."

Serkis added: "Obviously at some point, those worlds are going to collide big time if we are so lucky as to make more ‘Venom’ movies."
