Tramell Tillman’s role in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 remains mysterious and unknown, but the Severance star did recently tease that it might not be what fans think it is.
What did Tramell Tillman say about his role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
Speaking to Variety at the Time100 Next Gala, Tillman was asked about his role in the upcoming movie. Specifically, Tillman was asked what it would be like to play a villain in the movie, something that has been reported since his casting was announced.
Tillman played the question off smoothly, and simply jokingly responded “Who says I’m a villain?” before noting that, while he couldn’t say anything about it, he was having a good time filming the movie. On the topic of villains as a whole, Tillman did say that he finds playing them enjoying, as they’re often complex characters to dive into.
