Spider-Man: Far From Home - Everything We Know So Far

11. The Chameleon Will Feature Too

Following on from reports that Gyllenhaal was set to play Mysterio were others that confirmed actor Numan Acar would be in the film. It was quickly speculated that he would be playing the Chameleon, a claim that was soon backed up thanks to a since-edited Instagram post that made reference to the Spidey villain - whose real name is Dmitri - in a hashtag.

The Chameleon was actually the first proper Spider-Man villain, so it's pretty great to see the character finally make his proper cinematic debut. The more attentive True Believers out there will also note that Dmitri is the half-brother of one Sergei Kravinoff, AKA Kraven the Hunter.

While it's unlikely that he'll be making an appearance too, it does point towards Marvel building Spidey's rogues gallery in a key way, and that they wish to do so by paying respect to the first villain to ever enter it.
