Mysterio Is A Good Guy And He’s Got His Fishbowl Helmet!
We were all hoping the Far From Home trailer would give us a proper glimpse at Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio and thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. Not only did it reveal the character in all his glory, but it also gave us much to chew on as to how the villain will be handled in the sequel.
To begin with, yes, they’ve given him his helmet! This had already been confirmed via leaks, but it’s great to see it in action. There’d been much chatter amongst fans that the distinctive fishbowl helmet would look ridiculous in live-action, but it’s 100% comic-accurate and appears to be pretty awesome.
Secondly, Mysterio doesn’t make the entrance you’d expect, as he first shows up by helping Spidey out while fighting off the Elementals. “You don’t want to be part of this,” he tells Peter, before blasting “Hydro-Man” with green energy from his gauntlets. So, is Mysterio a good guy in the MCU?
Eh, probably not. As we stated before, things likely aren’t as they appear. Perhaps Gyllenhaal’s Quentin Beck will take after Syndrome from The Incredibles and be a villain who wants to be the next big superhero, so he’s faked some giant monsters for himself to fight.
We’ll find out the truth when Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into theaters on July 5th, 2019.
