20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2019

4. J. Jonah Jameson Returns - Spider-Man: Far From Home

In Spider-Man: Far From Home's mid-credits scene, jaws the world over were dropped with the introduction of The Daily Bugle's J. Jonah Jameson to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

More to the point, Jameson wasn't recast but in fact played once again by the fantastic J.K. Simmons, who originally played the part to perfection in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.

As if that wasn't enough of a fist-pumping moment, the character is ingeniously re-imagined here as an Alex Jones-esque right-wing nut, while The Daily Bugle is no longer a newspaper but an InfoWars-type website.

Though we see just a few scant moments of Jameson, it was enough of a tease that, hopefully, Marvel Studios won't be able to resist bringing him back for a more substantial role in the third Spidey film.
