Spider-Man: Far From Home - Everything We Know So Far
2. J. B. Smoove Has Been Cast In A Leading Role
AUDI
Curb Your Enthusiasm star J. B. Smoove joined Far From Home's cast earlier this year, but his role remains a complete mystery.
Having already starred alongside Tom Holland's Peter Parker in a commercial for AUDI, it's likely that the actor will be in a different part for the sequel. Fans have even speculated that he could be the first actor since JK Simmons to take on the role of J. Jonah Jameson, and while those are some pretty spectacular boots to fill, it's high time we got a new live action Jonah.
Other theories have posited that he could be playing the father of Zendaya's MJ, or potentially even a villain of his own. Out of all the ideas, however, him being JJ certainly seems like the best .
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
