This is when Paul Dano’s giant arachnid makes an appearance.

One of the major questions throughoutSpacemanis whether Hanus is real or just a figment of Jakub’s imagination.

This in itself is questionable given Jakub’s psychological state after six months of solitary space travel.

It seems entirely plausible that Sandler’s character conjured an imaginary alien friend due to his deep loneliness.

There’s also the fact that Jakub is often depicted as dreaming and waking throughout the film.

This could be interpreted as Hanus being birthed from Jakub’s subconscious.

Something else worth considering is that Jakub is the only one to acknowledge Hanus existence throughoutSpaceman.

However, this is not included in the film adaptation.
