Bryan Singer isn’t ruling out working with Kevin Spacey again, despite the claims of sexual harassment and assault that have been levied against the actor.
The X-Men director, 52, who has denied claims of his own alleged sexual misconduct, told TMZ he’d be open to working with the former House of Cards star, 58, but added, “It depends on the project, I guess.”

Bryan Singer has had a ruinous week. On December 4, 20th Century Fox fired Singer from the Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” for abandoning the London set; on December 6, the studio announced Dexter Fletcher as his replacement. In a statement, Singer ascribed his absence on “Bohemian Rhapsody” to caring for an ailing parent, but Fox also declined to renew its long-term deal with Singer’s production company, while his longtime publicist cut ties a few months ago.
