The full Daily Bugle report on Spider-Man's real identity from Avengers: Endgame, closing out the Infinity Saga. It also effectively set-up the web-slinging hero's next journey with its shocking mid-credits scene, which reveals the real identity of the beloved hero thanks to a heavily-edited video from Mysterio (Jake Gyllehaal) broadcasted by J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons).
Far From Home had to tackle a lot of lingering plot points following Thanos' success and eventual defeat, especially with regard to "The Blip." Aside from the universe-wide narrative, it also had to advance Parker's personal arc in the MCU as he grieved the death of his mentor, Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). By the end of the sequel, the young hero was more comfortable as his role as a proper superhero and a student navigating high school, but everything turned for the worst as his secret alter-ego was revealed to the public.
Shared by The Daily Bugle's official YouTube , fans can finally see Jonah's breaking news broadcast as seen in Far From Home. The clip which runs a little bit longer than a minute sees the the iconic Spider-Man character getting ready to go live. The video was crafted to mimic what real-life news delivery actually looks like and interestingly, fans in the comments section are treating it as such. Watch the clip below:
Writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers reveal that Far From Home's mid-credit plot twist was supposed to happen earlier. In fact, Parker was originally going to reveal himself, but they, alongside Watts and the rest of the Marvel Studios creatives decided to go for a bigger shocker with Mysterio's involvement. This ultimately was the better choice considering that they were able to organically reveal the return of Simmons as Jameson. While some argue that the sequence was essentially the movie's ending and shouldn't have been a stinger, in the end, it all worked for the narrative.
Following a short-lived squabble between Disney/Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment regarding Spider-Man's fate's in the MCU, the two companies are now moving forward (keep the hero in the franchise for at least two more projects. This means that Kevin Feige and his team can easily pick up where they left off in Spider-Man: Far From Home and run with the story they're setting up in its mid-credits tag. As one of the heroes tipped to be the face of the franchise after some of its founding ' exit, it's curious if this deal will extend beyond what's initially agreed upon. But assuming that both of Spider-Man's MCU projects are hits again, it's not outside the realm of possibility that they re-negotiate for a deal extension.
