10 Most Shocking Betrayals In Superhero Movie History
2. Mysterio Uses Spiderman To Gain Control Of E.D.I.T.H (Spiderman: Far From Home)
Leading up to the release of Spiderman: Far From Home, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Holland seemed like long lost brothers. The way they adorably bickered, joked, and mocked one another during their press tour raised the question whether they could replicate that best friend bond on screen together as well as off it. It turned out they could! At first...
Mysterio, played by Gyllenhaal, is the charismatic, supportive hero who lovingly takes Peter Parker under his wing amidst the pressures from Nick Fury. Peter thinks he has found a hero not only to share the responsibility of being a leader with, but to look up to and maybe fill the father-figure void Tony Stark left with his tragic death.
In a heart to heart talk between the two in a derelict pub, Peter confesses to the crushing pressure he feels of being Tony's protegee and the responsibility of being in charge of E.D.I.T.H, an artificial tactical intelligence system bequeathed unto him by Tony Stark. Feeling infinitely inferior to Mysterio, he feels that he would be better suited to that responsibility. Mysterio reluctantly agrees but it transpires he was only using Peter to get his hands on E.D.I.T.H. Pretty low, Mysterio. He trusted you, man!
