J.K. Simmons reprised the role of J. Jonah Jameson for Spider-Man: Far From Home's mid-credits scene after previously playing the Daily Bugle's Spidey-hating Editor-In-Chief in Sam Raimi's original trilogy, and the actor has now teased his next MCU appearance during a new interview.

Simmons recently hinted that he'd signed on to return as Jameson at some point, but still hasn't given us any indication of which movies he'd be showing up in. Here, he seems to be playing his cards even closer to the chest than usual, although he does pretty much confirm that he will be back as the notoriously grouchy publisher.

“There is a distinct chance, there have been discussions, and I’m not going to say anything definitive [laughter] because I don’t know if I’m allowed to," Simmons tells Collider"But yes, I’m very optimistic that I’ll have some more J.J.J. in my future.”

There have been rumors doing the rounds that Jameson will show up in either Morbius, The Living Vampire or Venom: Let There Be Carnage to help set-up a more substantial role in the next Spider-Man movie, but that obviously remains to be seen.

Where do you guys see J.J.J. turning up next? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

This has to be one of the things I'm most excited for in the Sony-verse. Or, extended MCU, whatever you want to call it.

@LiteraryJoe - what concerns me is that it's run by the same team who ran Venom

If they can bring back JK, they can bring back Cox.

@parkerray - Yeah people always talk about confusing audiences but some casting is so good that it lasts through multiple adaptations easily. Judi Dench M in Bond is another good example.

@Nightwing1015 - Agreed, she’s awesome. Would really like X-23 as well. (Not to mention Magik though I guess there’s like zero chance of that.)

@Nightwing1015 - That is right. Desmond Llewelyn as Q in the Bond films as well. Micheal Gough in the Batman movies as Alfred.

Ryan Reynolds still gets to play Deadpool (hopefully) in the MCU.

@parkerray - Who's Cox? Brian Cox, William Stryker / Hannibal Lecktor, or Ronny Cox, Dick Jones?

I'm always down for more Jameson. He was the highlight of all the Maguire films and absolutely loved his cameo in FFH.

Seeing him at the end of FFH was such a great surprise. Icing on the cake.

I get the feeling that the next Spider-Man movie will deal more with social media and how the public perception influences Spidey as a hero, kind of similar to the second season of Luke Cage but Spidey will be seen as a villain in the beginning instead.

I'm very much sure that JJJ is showing up in the next MCU Spidey movie. There's no way he reveals the dudes identity and then just disappears from the MCU altogether

As fun as it is to have him back, I actually think it would've been nice to get a different actor for the role and have him play a totally different character. Watching him in WHIPLASH really shows how he wasn't even halfway towards his peak rage potential in Raimi's Spidey movies

We’re never going to get Whiplash JJJ in any Spider-Man movie.

I hope the writer’s for the sequel take notes from Ps4 Spidey. Because that JJJ is the funniest I’ve ever heard.

Wish they kept the more comic accurate look from the Raimiverse, but I’m looking forward to his next appearance.
