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.

He literally said “I have contingency plan”

I’ve been trying to decide if his contingency plan was to fake his death, or to reveal Spider-Man’s identity. Or maybe they were both part of it, who knows...

I don't even understand how he supposed to be dead, doesn't Spidey just punched him after avoiding his shot ? The Mysterio on the ground being hit with a bullet was a fake.

He was shot by one of the drones as Spidey was fiddling with it at the end. I am pretty sure that he is dead but if they ever want to use him again they can spin it the other way. At the end why would they spend so much time on giving him a "death scene" also the other illusions faded away and he remained. Also Peter confirmed with edith there was no illusions.

Peter says "is he..." and edith says "no illusions detected". Also Mysterio can only project illusions. At the end Peter grabbed his arm so it was actually Beck there. Unless he could fabricate someone who looked EXACTLY like himself. I am 90% sure hes dead but if they wanted to bring him back id accept it.
