10 Reasons Spider-Man: Far From Home Is The Perfect Follow-Up To Avengers: Endgame
4. Jake Gyllenhaal Is A Fantastic Actor Who’s Missed Out On A Lot Of Superhero Movies In The Past
Considering Jake Gyllenhaal lost the role of literal Peter Parker when Sony was considering recasting Tobey Maguire after injuries sustained on set in Spider-Man 2 way back in 2003, it’s been a long road in terms of getting Gyllenhaal to return to any sort of superhero franchise.
He was also rumoured to play Batman back before Christian Bale’s casting for Batman Begins, and was offered the role of Rick Flag in Suicide Squad. Gyllenhaal is not only one of Hollywood’s finest actors, but has long been waiting for his chance to jump in the superhero movie saddle.
Now he’s finally taken the plunge as Mysterio, it would be impossible for even casual fans to resist the urge to see him finally be able to put his spin on the franchise.
