Jameson first appeared on screen in 2002's Spider-Man as the publisher of the Daily Bugle newspaper. Simmons (who you'll know from his Oscar-winning performance in Whiplash). That angry-sounding man making the toothbrush mustache cool again? That's John Jonah Jameson, played by J.K. This is probably because Peter's Spidey Senses still function in the Astral Plane, a parallel dimension where the soul exists outside the body, allowing his pure energy form to swim through the air, back to his physical body. Will movie Ned go down a dark path? He sincerely informs Peter that he has no plans to take the route of previous Spider-Man besties in turning against him (looking at you, two versions of Harry Osborn), but who knows what the future holds? How did Spidey escape the Astral Plane?ĭoctor Strange is surprised to discover Peter can evade his control in the Astral Plane. Ned's comic book counterpart was brainwashed into being a stand-in for the real Hobgoblin. In the comics, Hobgoblin is a criminal and enemy of Spider-Man with abilities such as super-strength, healing and Green Goblin-esque gadgets. It's art of the highest form.Rumors have circled around on-screen Ned later transforming into the Hobgoblin.
So I'll just stick to being IMMENSELY grateful that it exists in this universe. I wish every movie was as good as this-but then again if the world was like that this wouldn't feel as special. The fan-service is BATTY too, and yet somehow it's never too much. It made me think about my own life and what I mean to the people I care about in ways I never expected. Payoffs and character revelations that were only hinted at in the first film are carefully, deliberately unraveled and come around beautifully.
It's easily one of the heaviest PG-rated films I've ever seen. Don't let the marketing fool you: this film has GUTS. If it wasn't already obvious in the first film, it's now officially clear as day that the people behind the Spider-Verse franchise (including writers/producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are absolute creative godsends to the once magnificent place known as Hollywood) understand EXACTLY what they're working with.
