Thoughts on Mysterio as a villain in Spider Man Far from Home and would u have liked to see him come back at some point if he was not killed off?
What are y’all’s thoughts on Quentin Beck/Mysterio as a villain in Spider Man Far from Home and would u like to see him come back if he was not killed off? Where does he rank on list of MCU villains?

It's a quick shot but it's there. It's the dude from Iron Man 1 that Stane yelled at.
Seriously tho the MCU has never had better potential to shit out a Diamond of a Sinister 6 Spider-Man with huge team up potential! I mean imagine it, Peter starts his college years in a New York Governed by Kingpin! Think of the teams that BOTH sides could bring together...
Peter and Matt are already acquainted, and Born Again was amazing and set up so much! Now that Peter is Going to college its right about time he meet Felicia Hardy. The other Defenders actors have been at least been open and willing to repraise their roles which... while Peter is technically still an Avenger and always will be, he's honestly more primed to be a Defender given everyone has forgoten Peter.
Then as for Spidey villains that can fill the roster of the Six... we've got Vulture and Scorpion Accounted for in prison and would be easy to bring back as working to turn their misfortunes at the hand of Spidey by joining with Kingpin. The Shocker exists in the MCU and hasnt really been given the chance to be in the spotlight. We've seen Aaron Davis in Homecoming but that was pre Blip, now imagine Miles and the Morales Family all blipped and Aaron devistated goes down the path and becomes the Prowler. Bullseye is still kickin around and could totally still work for Fisk. Theres also a real chance that Ned could fall to the dark side. Hell im pretty sure Chameleon exists in the MCU and you know what if they really wanted they could probably make him turn out to be a Skrull if need be. Plus like there's dozens of unused Spidey villains to bring in.
They're not Bond Villains
At least Mysterio is an easy resurrection
Incarceration does work
By contrast, in a movie, you don't have most of those pressures, and there's a desire to craft an enclosed narrative, with the understanding that if you don't kill off the villain, then they become a recurring character in a series of films that is going to have, what, 4, 5 installments usually if you're really lucky? And they become another major star that you have to get on contract. Plus there's always the possibility that you won't be able to get the actor back for the next time you want the character around: They explicitly \*didn't\* kill Joker off in Dark Knight, but the actor died, and his performance was so iconic they didn't dare recast him for the sequel, so we just...never saw him again. I'd say he's just in Arkham, but well, we know what happened with Bane and all the city's criminals, so...Or look at the whole Kang thing. They tried to turn him into the next big bad, the movie that introduced him did poorly, the show that expanded on his role in the franchise did pretty well, but then the actor turned out to be a big problem so they just dumped him anyway, and now we just have this big hanging plot thread that probably never gets resolved.
Given all of that, I kinda get why sometimes the writers might just be like "We probably don't get to make more than three of these, there's not much reason to keep the big villains around, so let's send them out in a satisfying conclusion."
It's not like Spider Man doesn't have an enormous rogues gallery full of villains to pull for future films. There are way more villains than Tom Holland has Spidey movies to make in his life.
If it was Punisher or Wolverine, or even anyone from the Frank Millerverse (that isn't a DC IP) or Todd Mcfarland, I wouldn't think anything of it
But Batman and Spider-Man have a strict moral code to not allow anyone to die if they can help it, even if it's their mortal nemesis
Batman won't kill Joker, not because he's scared of repercussions, but of what will happen afterwards. When he crosses that line, what will happen next? Traffic Violations? Jay-walkers? Litterers? People who double-park? His neighbor's dog for barking too loud?
Yeah, this is about what Harry Callahan says. And yeah, he's killed people, from the depraved, to the deranged, to the psychotic, and even the misguided and the occasional megalomanic, even other law officers. But he drew the line at vigilantism because of how easily the line can be blurred. But he's also a cop, and cops carry with them a kind of license to kill...
Batman is not law enforcement officer, just a freelance detective who works with the police
Spider-Man is about the same. Because a simple mistake cost him a lot and he can't have the death of his enemies on his conscience because he could have prevented it
I’d love for him to come back but I don’t see that happening. “Never apologize for being the smartest person in the room.”
He can easily come back. If anyone could fake his own death.....
Just get a variant from another universe where everything is the same and the only difference is traffic lights are red, brown and blue.
I feel like realistically he faked his death considering his last words about people believing anything
William Defoe was just too good but Jake Gyllenhall and Michael Keaton were awesome as well
They can easily accomplish this by saying the version you thought was him dying was really an Illusion
Also really wanted Jake Gyllenhaal to be Moon Knight before this movie came out. God he has the range and would have looked the part perfect. Don’t get me wrong I love Oscar Isaac and think he is also pretty much a perfect Marc Spector and others
I absolutely loved him and Jake Gyllenhall stole every scene he was in
I would also like for him to use Jonah and then screw him over in some way.
I might be misremembering, but wasn't mysterio a dumb guy easily beat by Spider-Man. I don't recall seeing him in comics as a kid, so I might be getting my idea from one of the old video games based off the Sam Raimi movie. It's been awhile, so I can't remember.
And during the wrap-up to this multiverse storyline (either in Doomsday or Secret Wars), I also want to see a heroic multiverse version of Quentin Beck/Mysterio who went to Kamar-Taj and became an actual Sorcerer.
I thought Mysterio worked great.
