50 Greatest Performances In Marvel Movies

46. J.K. Simmons - J. Jonah Jameson

J.K. Simmons played J. Jonah Jameson - a mere supporting character who runs a newspaper in the world of Spider-Man - in three Spider-Man movies. So should he be this high on the list? Damn right he should!

From the personality to the look, Simmons was sublime as the grouchy Daily Bugle boss - so much so that it's almost impossible to imagine anyone else in the role (in fact, it's rumoured that Jameson wasn't in the recent Spidey franchise because Simmons was too hard an act to follow and many fans are calling for him to reprise the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).
