(This article comprises the small print of the mid-credits scene from “Spider-Man: Far From Home,
in addition to data concerning the ending of the film. You have been warned.)
Spider-Man has been essentially the most rebooted huge display screen superhero, going from Tobey Maguire to refreshes with Andrew Garfield and, when Sony determined to deliver the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland.
The MCU is its personal self-contained universe, so they’d to try this second reboot after they introduced Spider-Man into the fold. They weren’t going to only faux that the “Amazing Spider-Man” films had been by some means happening in the identical world by which these aliens had been invading New York within the first “Avengers” film.
The level right here is that they don’t simply usher in outsiders willy nilly. There’s an entire course of concerned. And, to this point, 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 fairly surprising 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 web site, taking part in a video Mysterio made moments earlier than he died, which ends with Mysterio revealing that Spider-Man’s true identification is Peter Parker.
But in all probability essentially the most surprising half was the actor taking part in J Jonah Jameson: JK Simmons, reprising his function from the three Tobey Maguire-led “Spider-Man” movies.
It’s robust to guess what this implies. Is Simmons going to be taking part in 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 admittedly working wild — no, this doesn’t imply that these previous “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 rely 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 might in all probability be a mistake to begin speculating too wildly about what it means. Until someone 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.
