Spider-Man: Far From Home EP on J. Jonah Jameson Possibly Being In The Film

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21661″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]One of the most memorable aspects of Tobey Maguire’s run as Spider-Man was Peter Parker’s career at the Daily Bugle and more specifically, J.K. Simmons’ portrayal of editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson. Since the trilogy, this character and popular storyline of Parker has not been introduced. In the current MCU, Parker is still a high school student and there hasn’t been anything to suggest that he would aspire to be a journalist once graduating; it’s seeming like Parker is considering taking up the mantle for Iron Man or at the very least, continue exploring his knack for gadgets.

Still, an interview with executive producer for Spider-Man: Far From Home, Eric Hauserman Carroll; did mention that he’d want to pay tribute to a character and storyline like J. Jonah Jameson:

“Yes, we’ve absolutely talked and thought about those characters a lot, specifically in reference to this film. What we just want to make sure we’re [presenting] them in a way that doesn’t make you feel instantly like you’ve seen them before. So we have a couple of ideas, some of which I can’t really go into detail because they’re spoilery, but it’s absolutely – if we had an “in” for the Daily Bugle that wasn’t just your traditional newspaper…and Peter Parker, there’s this cool, weird thing happening where being a photographer isn’t necessarily a mark of distinction anymore. We all have better cameras in our pockets than most people even owned ten years ago. So how do we get Peter or somebody into that world without it feeling like, do kids really aspire to go be photographers for The New York Times anymore? Or do they aspire to have their tweet reposted, and so on.

So we’re trying to pay as much homage to the source material as possible, and we do think there are a couple of fun ideas like that in here, most of which I don’t want to spell out for you, but absolutely. We want to take as much of the mythology that people love and present it in a way that’s totally faithful to what people love about it, but in a [different] way.?”

Carroll also gave a simple “no” when asked if it was “fair to say J. Jonah Jameson or the Bugle would not be in Spider-Man: Far From Home”. So, we do have that to speculate on. Who would you want to play Jameson?
