SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Star J.K. Simmons Teases His Future As J. Jonah Jameson After The Threequel

Spider-Man: No Way Home featured the return of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson after his Far From Home cameo, and the actor has teased what the future could hold in store for the fan-favourite character.

Spider-Man: Far From Home featured one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most jaw-dropping post-credits scenes when J.K. Simmons reprised the role of J. Jonah Jameson to reveal the wall-crawler's secret identity to the world. The character had been reimagined as an Alex Jones-like nut in charge of his own online news programme, TheDailyBugle.net, and fans loved it. 

Marvel Studios doubled down on that idea in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Jameson doggedly pursued Peter Parker throughout the movie in an effort to increase his ratings (it was easy to miss, but Jonah went from hosting the show in his house to a plush studio by the time his story arc wrapped up). 

Like the rest of the world, TheDailyBugle.net presenter no longer remembers who is beneath Spider-Man's mask, but he's clearly not finished trying to make the world believe that the web-slinger is a menace. Now, actor J.K. Simmons has teased his return as J. Jonah Jameson in a future project.

When Deadline pointed out to the actor that it was a shame he hadn't been more heavily featured in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home, he responded: "Hey, I think I'm gonna be in more, so...fingers crossed." That bodes well, though this hopefully isn't a reference to rumours about Jameson showing up in Morbius (which really wouldn't make sense unless he's another Variant).

One logical place to take Jameson in Spider-Man 4 would be to have him play a role in the creation of Spider-Slayers and perhaps even the Scorpion. We'll have to wait and see for now, though! 

What do you hope the future holds in store for Simmons' JJJ?

Would be fun to see him involved in the creation of the Scorpion, although I much rather see Kingpin have Scorpion on his payroll as muscle.

Also, it's kinda funny seeing both JK Simmons and Michael Keaton in the Spider-Man and Batman franchises, in which we neither now what multiversal roles they'll play

@bkmeijer - It would be great to see Rhino tearing down prison walls as shots bounce off his armored suit. Rhino works for the Kingpin and he stars in an incredible action scene during Gargan and Toomes' escape.

@Repian - that would be a pretty great opening sequence for a movie, even though it might be a bit similar to the Miles Morales game

@Robby - JJJ goes to turkey for hair transplant surgery subplot in Spider-Man 4 confirmed?

@MeAreLegend - that would be hilarious, especially if during the film he has those weird implant dots on his head and by the end of it he has some stubble.

Would love him to cross paths with Peter Parker. I think the Ultimate Spider-Man did a good job with Peter being a IT-guy for the Daily Bugle website, and something similar could make sense considering it isn’t a newspaper in the MCU

@MeAreLegend - another Ultimate Spider-Man thing I wanna see the movies do is making Harry Venom. Would feel fresh opposite a third Harry/Goblin or a third Eddie/Venom storyline
