J. Jonah. Jameson to Appear in Future Spider-Man, J.K. Simmons Could Return for the Role

One cult Spider-Man character we have not seen in the Spider-Man reboot is the editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle and employer of Peter Parker- J. Jonah Jameson. He is the one guy who truly hates Spider-Man probably as much as Spidey’s enemies, without actually being a villain himself, but being more of a comic relief and a pain in the ass for Peter Parker.

It is confusing why he did not make any appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man movies. Jameson did have memorable appearance in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, and it was hilarious. We so indeed get some Easter eggs in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 about Peter Working for J. Jonah Jameson, but no appearance. So we know Peter is working for him, but we do want to see him. The Easter egg itself made me laugh like a retard, so imagine seeing this lunatic for real.

What made the role of J. Jonah Jameson amazing, however, was the acting of J.K. Simmons in Sam Raimi’s movies. J.K. Simmons was made for this role. He looks like Jameson, he talks like Jameson, he was born to be Jameson. I seriously cannot imagine any other man on this planet who can play this role. Only Simmons can. And Marc Webb agrees to that as well.

Marc Webb, the director of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has stated in a Google+ Question and Answer session that he would like him to appear in the next movie, and that “It was more easy to accept a new Spider-Man than someone who could outdo J.K. Simmons. He is iconic”. Is this a confirmation? Are we going to see J.K. Simmons come back to play his sort of legendary role as Peter’s pain in the ass? Well, Webb did say “I think you can expect him in the future”. That is close enough!
