AceShowbiz - Jake Gyllenhaal joined Instagram on Wednesday, December 5, just in time to promote his upcoming movie "Spider-Man: Far From Home". Sharing a funny video as his first post, the "Nightcrawler" star ended speculations about whom he's playing in the upcoming movie.
The short clip opens with a close-up look at the cover of "The Amazing Spider-Man" comic titled "The Return of the Man Called Mysterio". As Gyllenhaal puts down the comic book, an expression of shock is seen on his face. "What the f**k?" he shouts to himself.
In the caption of the video, he wrote, "I just realized I'm not playing Spider-Man," confirming that he's indeed playing Spider-Man's villain Mysterio.
The most well-known iteration of Mysterio in Marvel Comics is Quentin Beck, a Hollywood stuntman and special effects artist who dreams of becoming a big film star. When his dreams aren't obtainable, he turns into a criminal mastermind using his ability to create expert illusions.
Gyllenhaal's character will face off against the titular character a.k.a. Peter Parker, who is still portrayed by Tom Holland. The web-slinger will wear a Stealth Suit, in addition to the new black-and-red costume.
While the Stealth Suit had been spotted on the set during the filming earlier this year, the first close-up look at the costume is obtained at Comic Con Experience (CCXP) in Brazil, where it's currently put on display. It features body armor and glowing goggles.
