Deadline is reporting that J.B. Smoove has joined the cast of Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home. Further details on his role were unavailable, but it is being described as one of the ensemble film's lead roles.

Smoove joins a cast headlined by Tom Holland, who will return for his fifth appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Academy Award-winner Marisa Tomei (Aunt May), Zendaya (Michelle Jones), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), and Academy Award-nominee Michael Keaton (Vulture) will also reprise their roles from the previous installment while Academy Award-nominee Jake Gyllenhaal joins the MCU as the popular Spidey villain Mysterio.

Jon Watts is directing with a script from Homecoming scribes Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Smoove is probably best known for his hysterical role as Leon Black on the critically-acclaimed HBO comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm. His more recent credits include, but are not limited to, New Girl, Fresh Off the Boat, The Millers, Top Five, Hall Pass, Mr. Deeds, and Date Night. He can also currently be seen on the big-screen in the Kyrie Irving-led basketball comedy Uncle Drew.

@AndrewHolland - I'm open to a race-swap JJJ, but they're doing that for a lot of the characters in the Spider-Man franchise. At the end of the day, I want to be able to open a comic book and see some resemblance to the movies.

@JamesPunn - If Mel Gibson wasn't a wacko he would have made a good Jameson.

I'll settle for Jason Sudeikis

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but that's not how it works. You've got the revenue model reversed.

My first thought was Jameson. And I dig it.

Though I've been campaigning for years for Shooter McGavin to play Jameson in the MCU.

My choice is John Mcginley.

@ImperiousRex - ...did you just use a heavily racial word to describe a black dude? I mean, I see what I'm reading, and I know this is Trump's crazy America, but damn...seriously? Unbelievable.

He's reprising his role as Parker Peter's driving instructor, obviously.
