“Bring us J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson!†we yell, smashing our fists on our desks like J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. MCU director Jon Watts heard us, gave us a taste of J.K. in the Far From Home post-credits, and is now focusing his efforts on bringing things back from that other Spider-Man franchise. The Hollywood Reporter reported that Jamie Foxx will reprise the role of Electro, the villain he first played in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (the sequel in the Andrew Garfield–led series), in Watts’s upcoming Untitled Spider-Man Sequel (the third movie in the Tom Holland set). Which means that Jamie Foxx’s Electro now exists in two different Spider-Verses. Will Foxx’s ability to traverse multiverses be acknowledged as a plot point in the next Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie? Or will Spider-Tom finish Electro off when Spider-Garf couldn’t? The untitled film is slated for release on November 5, 2021, but that could still be delayed, because we’re living in the Spider-Verse where the pandemic is a thing. There’s so much weird fourth-wall-shattering stuff going on here, we’re going to need Deadpool to break it down for us.
