“He’s awesome and Jake and I got on really well and it’s interesting because when you hear the word Mysterio as Spider-Man fan you immediately think villain, and that’s not the case in our film, he’s sort of a new addition to this world of heroes, and sort of my teammate throughout the movie.”

And then, he came to set for his first day of shooting, and what Marvel do sometimes is, they will completely change the lines overnight.”

“So Jake was like, he was like, panicking. So I found myself on day one working with one of my idols like ‘it’s okay man, it’s okay. This is just how it goes over here in the Marvel world.’ So it was really weird.”
