Spider-Man: Far From Home - 26 Easter Eggs & References Explained

3. The Daily Bugle

Anyone who knows Spider-Man won't really need the Daily Bugle explaining to them - especially when it played such a heavy part in Sam Raimi's trilogy of Spidey films in the early noughties, but the post-credits still need to be addressed.

In the MCU, it looks as though the Bugle has been rebranded as an Info Wars-esque internet cesspit headed up by an even more paranoid J. Jonah Jameson, again portrayed by J.K. Simmons, who played the character to perfection from Spider-Man 1-3.

It's Far From Home's greatest surprise, and a fantastic callback not just to one of the Marvel universe's most entertaining entities, but to Raimi's films as well.
