But, in a twist true to the films reality-bending theme, things are not always as they seem.

Instead,Far From Homeis something far more ambitious and a whole lot weirder.
But my hope was that the other half of the audience might just buy the con.
He gets to put on different hats.And fishbowls.

I love the idea of manipulating reality and the nature of truth.
That feels very timely in 2019.
I mean, thats a character that started as a stuntman in the comics.
There is a pretty clear modern-day equivalent with AR and holographic projectors and deep fakes.
Theyre essentially middle management.
How are they affected?
In this film, we were able to turn them into the crew in whats hopefully a surprising way.
The people that werent in the will when Tony died.
[Laughs]
Becks storyraises the possibility of a multiverse.
Obviously, hes not from there, but is there actually a multiverse in the MCU?
So theres a possibility?Id say theres a possibility.
Lets talk aboutthe end-credits scenes.
First of all, theres the public reveal of Peters identity.
Peters lying to himself about how he feels about Tony and the loss that hes experiencing and denying.
MJs lying about knowing that Peters Spider-Man and that she likes him.
Theres a lot of deception in the movie.
Everything that Mysterio is saying throughout the movie suddenly all comes to a hilt at this final climactic moment.
The other interesting parallel for the reveal is that its similar to the way the firstIron Manends.
The whole movie, were asking, Is Peter going to be the next Iron Man?
Whos gonna step up?
At the end of the firstIron Man,Tony chooses to reveal his identity to the world.
So we thought, why not take that choice away from him?
So are you already starting to think about how you might probe that idea in a future film?
Obviously, we gotta talk about J.K. Simmons appearance as J. Jonah Jameson.
It wasnt even a conversation.
It was just like, Yep.
Everyones in total agreement?
Yep, lets do it.
Dont you realize those are different movies?
[Laughs] He was definitely, I think, a little bit confused.
I love that its TheDailyBugle.net and hes become almost like a shock jock.
Our world has become more cartoonish and his performance now seems completely realistic.
It reminded me a little bit ofthe recentSpider-ManPS4 video game.
J. Jonah Jameson plays a similar role in that.
It all sort of fits together nicely.
We didnt want to repeat things that they were doing.
So that was a pretty early idea I had of how to have those two worlds collide.
I feel like that would be such a fun world to play in.
There would be so much fallout.
But you have to get the story.
We talked about how if its all life in the universe, does that include bacteria?
Did people get sick or really healthy because half of the bugs that live in their stomach disappeared?
And if the people that got voted into office [were blipped], were there secondary elections?
There would be so many things that would happen.
Bureaucratically, it would be a nightmare.Yes!
I was just thinking about how annoying it would be.
It would be so inconvenient.
[Laughs]
