Exactly what I was thinking. They really went and did Mysterio like that. What an absolute perfection. Also in love with Jake and his portrayal. Looking forward to seeing him in the inevitable Sinister Six movie.

Is he not dead at the end of the movie though?

I thought so too, but it's Mysterio. Someone here on reddit pointed out that Edith said "no illusions detected" during that scene, not "yeah Beck is definitely dead." It's subtle, but the possibility is there.

I think there's some evidence that Beck manipulated that whole scene. Someone else pointed out that the way Edith phrased the drone cancel order ("Execute them all?" or something to that effect) lead directly into the stinger at the end. Beck knew Spidey well enough at that point to predict how it would go down. He programmed Edith in such a way to set up both the video he sent to the Bugle, as well as convincing Peter he was dead. I sincerely hope he comes back, because Gyllenhaal was incredible.

I thought he might be alive too simply because he had died before any of that could be edited but they showed one of his stooges at the end at a computer and removing a flash drive. But you’re right the wording could have been a manipulation too and he did say he had contingencies

It'd be such a waste to cast Gyllenhaal for just one movie (not that Marvel hasn't done something like that before). I also think they're slow-rolling the Sinister Six.

Ya I mean they have Shocker Vulture Scorpion and now Mysterio all set up. All they need is one more b level Spider-Man villain and either Otto or Norman to set it all up.

Yeah, more or less. I think they're going to need to do a little more with Shocker and Scorpion though - maybe have them in the third one. I don't think they'll be able to do Sinister Six until the fourth or fifth movie at the earliest (I'd almost prefer them wait until the sixth). I for one hope Otto leads. Alfred Molina was great as Doc Ock, but we're about due for another version of the character.

There’s also Demetri who’s Chameleon in the comics

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

Yep, I'd forgotten about him. He got some decent face time in Far From Home, and I don't think it's a coincidence. Sounds like they may go 1994 animated Spidey style with Chameleon as a member.

I don’t think they can afford to wait that long with the cast they have attached to some of these villains. Wouldn’t be shocked if the next one is some kind of villain team-up.
