(This article comprises the small print of the mid-credits scene from “Spider-Man: Far From Home, in addition to data in regards to the ending of the film. You have been warned.)
With the Marvel Cinematic Universe trying as robust as any film franchise ever has after “Avengers: Endgame” pulled in practically $2.eight billion on the field workplace, it’s unlikely we’re going to see Spider-Man rebooted for an extended, very long time. Peter Parker is residence now. But it took some time to get right here, because the character noticed two completely totally different iterations earlier than we settled on the Tom Holland model, with that second reboot having to occur to convey the character into the MCU.
The MCU is its personal self-contained universe, so that they had to do this second reboot after they introduced Spider-Man into the fold. They weren’t going to simply faux that the “Amazing Spider-Man” films have been someway happening in the identical world during which these aliens have been invading New York within the first “Avengers” film.
The level right here is that they don’t simply herald outsiders willy nilly. There’s a complete course of concerned. And, up to now, they’ve by no means introduced in a personality that had beforehand been utilized in a non-MCU movie with the identical actor who performed the character earlier than.

Or that was the case, till “Spider-Man: Far From Home” did one thing new throughout its mid-credits scene.
It was a reasonably stunning scene all the way in which round, revealing what was apparently a contingency plan Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) put in place within the occasion he was defeated by Spider-Man (Tom Holland). It noticed the famed newspaperman J Jonah Jameson, his Daily Bugle reimagined as an InfoWars-style video website, enjoying a video Mysterio made moments earlier than he died, which ends with Mysterio revealing that Spider-Man’s true id is Peter Parker.
But in all probability probably the most stunning half was the actor enjoying J Jonah Jameson: JK Simmons, reprising his function from the three Tobey Maguire-led “Spider-Man” movies.
It’s powerful to guess what this implies. Is Simmons going to be enjoying the character in future films, or is that this only a enjoyable Easter egg? For now, that basically is all it’s, as a result of it’s not simply the primary look of Jameson within the MCU, it’s the primary point out of the character in any respect.

And in case your thoughts is basically operating wild — no, this doesn’t imply that these outdated “Spider-Man” films are actually canon within the MCU. The solely manner it might work is that if Kevin Feige & Co. determine to embrace the multiverse and depend all these Marvel films outdoors the MCU as happening in parallel Earths. But regardless of the tease in “Far From Home,” the multiverse nonetheless isn’t a factor simply but.
So for now, what occurs on the finish of “Spider-Man: Far From Home” is simply the primary instance but of Marvel bringing again an actor to play a personality he’d beforehand performed outdoors the MCU. And because it’s such a short half, it will in all probability be a mistake to begin speculating too wildly about what it means. Until any individual with authority says in any other case, the JK Simmons factor might be only a enjoyable addition meant to shock and delight followers. And it positively manages to do exactly that.
