With the recent release of the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, many fans are still curious as to the specific role that Mysterio will be playing. Is he an ally? It initially looks like it, but come on, that will eventually change, right?
/Film‘s most recent interview with Tom Holland shed some light on the dynamics between Spider-Man and Mysterio:
“It’s very much ‘big brother, little brother.’ Nick Fury is the head teacher who is constantly telling me off. I don’t want to really be there. I want to go on holiday, and Mysterio is always the one sort of sticking up for me and patting me on the back and telling me I did a good job. Which is funny, there are really funny moments in the film where I feel like I haven’t done a good job, and Mysterio’s like, ‘Good job, kid!’ [and I’m like] ‘Really?’ So yeah, it’s fun.”
The trailer did a good job depicting this older sibling vibe, especially with a hesitant Spider-Man, but how long will this last? With Mysterio being one of Spider-Man’s primary villains, where and how do you think the disconnect will start, or could all of this possibly be Mysterio’s plan all along?
Well, it appears none of those ideas are correct. Holland went on to talk about how great it has been working with Gyllenhaal while also elaborating on the dynamics between the two characters:
“He’s awesome, man. Jake and I got on really well. It’s interesting, because when you hear the word ‘Mysterio’ as a Spider-Man fan, you immediately think ‘villain.’ That’s not the case in our film. He’s sort of a new addition to this world of heroes, he’s sort of my teammate throughout the movie. It’s funny because Jake is such a great guy and we get on really well, and it’s been fun sort of fighting these crazy monsters with him. Imagining stuff is quite difficult when you’re doing it on your own, but when you’re doing it with someone else, it’s a lot easier. Also, every year I have a phone call with my agents where I talk about the five actors I want to work with and the five directors I want to work with, and he’s always on the list. So the fact that I get to work with him on this is pretty special.”
Not only is Gyllenhaal a great person to work with, but one Holland has been wanting to act with for some time. This also shed some more light on the concept that maybe Mysterio won’t be a villain at all. Maybe he will continue to be an ally or some type of anti-hero.
