JK Simmons Reveals J. Jonah Jameson's Character Arc for Spider-Man 4!

With production on Sony's reboot of the Spider-Man franchise moving swiftly, all the plans that were set for Sam Raimi's delayed-Spider-Man 4 have been long forgotten. We knew that the film would pen Spidey against Vulture (John Malkovich) & Black Cat (Anne Hathaway), but we didn't know what was in store for Peter Parker's ill-tempered boss, J. Jonah Jameson.

Well the actor behind the character, which apparently has been exiled from the reboot completely, JK Simmons recently sat with MTV, where he reveals vaguely where 'Jameson' was headed in the fourth adaption. He also reveals how he felt when Sony pulled the plug.

"J. Jonah Jameson was going to be somehow exiled or disgraced or demoted and end up in some little cubicle somewhere and be railing, even more than usual, against the world," "I'm still reeling from the rug being pulled out of us," he said. "I had just bought a house I can't afford!"

"There wasn't a script-script yet, but I had seen Sam a few weeks before that and we talked about story ideas, because on those movies, we always started on the script and we expanded on it," he explained. "There was a lot of either us coming up with stuff in the room or doing it literally on set — a lot of improv-y stuff with the whole cast in those office scenes." Simmons added: "He was saying, 'This is the basic outline, now go bring me funny stuff.'"
