10 Longest Gaps Between Superhero Movie Appearances
5. J. Jonah Jameson/J.K. Simmons - Spider-Man 3 To Spider-Man: Far From Home (12 Years)
Again, similarly to Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson, J.K. Simmons has actually leant his unmistakable take on the iconic editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle to various TV shows over the years, with Simmons' J. Jonah Jameson showing up in the likes of Robot Chicken and Ultimate Spider-Man.
However, there was a solid 12 years spell back there where we didn't see a fully fleshed out live action Jameson performance from the Academy Award winning actor on the big screen. Thankfully, that barren period came to a screeching halt during the MCU's second solo Spidey flick in 2019 as Jameson dropped by to completely alter Tom Holland's Peter Parker's life forever.
In perhaps the finest post-credit zinger to grace an MCU flick, Simmons' live action Jameson, last seen in Sony's Spider-Man 3 back in 2007 and now hosting The Daily Bugle, reveals the web-slinger's human alter-ego to the entire planet. This appears to have set a game-changing series of events in motion, and seems to have paved the way for more Jameson appearances in the MCU going forward.
Long may he rail against the menace!
