Spider-Man: Far From Home - Nick Fury Impostor Theory EXPLAINED
2. So Who Is Fury?!
The big question then, is who Nick Fury is in Spider-Man: Far From Home if he's not Nick Fury.
What if he's Chameleon, the master of disguise super-villain, real name Dmitri Smerdyakov? We already know that Numan Acar has been cast as a mysterious character named Dimitri and that's too much of a coincidence to ignore.
It might also explain why Fury appears to be working for SHIELD again officially, despite the fact that he's still supposed to be underground after the events of The Winter Soldier. Wouldn't someone disguising themself as him go with what they knew about him for certain and defer to an earlier 'model' as it were? That sounds like Chameleon's MO.
Chameleon isn't just another two-bit stand-in villain either. He was the very first super-villain Peter Parker ever fought way back in Amazing Spider-Man #1. The fact he's not been on screen already is just... strange. Considering Marvel's desire to do something different with these Spider-Man movies, and their approach so far of including only villains we haven't seen in the other Sony Spidey movies, his presence makes even more sense.
So what if Chameleon's plan is to get Spider-Man to Europe to fight the monsters with Mysterio intended to make Spider-Man look bad? That whole set-piece of Sand Man, Hydro Man and Molten Man all looked like it was designed to make the new "rival hero" come out better than Spider-Man and Chameleon discrediting him to get rid of him is a far more devastating approach than simply killing him. It's like inception: beating him up won't be enough to make him quit, he has to have the idea himself.
Chameleon disguises himself as Fury, sends Spidey to Europe, Mysterio pretends to be a hero for the fame and adulation he didn't get in the movie industry, Spider-Man's "fans" turn on him and he loses his purpose. He is - as Happy Hogan says - "on his own" and if he gives up, villains like Chameleon can run rampant in New York.
Doesn't that make a lot of sense? It might not work out that way since Spider-Man is bound to overcome his demons and fight back, but it's definitely a compelling story.
And now for the NEW evidence...
