Jake Gyllenhaal – Quentin Beck (Mysterio)
It hasn’t been too long since we’ve last seen Jake Gyllenhaal in the MCU, as he debuted in Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019, playing the trickster villain Mysterio.
Mysterio started out the second installment of the MCU Spider-Man series working alongside Peter, filling the void of a role model that was left when Tony Stark died in Avengers Endgame. It isn’t long before we find out that he was just manipulating everyone, as Mysterio is only interested in power and revenge.
While his character did seem to bite the dust at the end of the film, it wouldn’t be hard to spin that he faked his death. Mysterio is all about illusions, so it isn’t too farfetched to say that he didn’t die.
There are already plenty of narrative threads to go off, as Mysterio is responsible for outing Peter as Spider-Man during the film’s end credits.
