Is Mysterio Actually Dead?
Although Spider-Man Far From Home’s version of Mysterio is a bit different than his comic counterpart one thing stays the same, he’s the master of illusion. At the end of the climactic final battle, Mysterio dies, shot by one of his own drones.
However, later in the first credits scene, we see the Daily Bugle present a doctored video that has Mysterio painting Spider-Man as a terrorist, and even revealing his true identity. The real kicker here is we don’t know how or why this video was made.
Was it a last-ditch effort by Mysterio right as he died to screw over Peter? Was it something he’d planned all along? It just seems unlikely that Mysterio is actually dead at this point, especially considering the first movie, Homecoming, decided to keep Vulture alive.
Adding even more fuel to the fire is the fact that both Vulture and Mysterio are members of the original Sinister Six. We also know there were some heavy rumors that Sony was making a Sinister Six movie before Disney and Marvel reacquired the Spider-Man rights.
Considering all of this, and how impromptu Mysterio’s death was in the film, it just seems unlikely that the iconic villain is really gone for good.
