Mysterio may have pop off inSpider - Man : Far From Home- but that does n’t rule the scoundrel out from returning to the MCU.Spider - valet : Far From Home ’s take onMysterio was rise directly from the comic strip ; he was premise as a disgruntled and vain tiptop - villain who initially attempted to persuade the world he was really a hero . In this case , Mysterio ’s schema involved manipulating Spider - Man into handing over Stark tech to put on a spectacular show in London .

Mysterio made one mistake , though ; he underestimate Spider - Man . The bulwark - crawler may have been tricked into handing over the Stark tech , but he realized he ’d been befool and attempted to expose Mysterio . Spider - Man survived their initial struggle , and arrived in London screw up for a rematch . That did n’t go Mysterio ’s way , with Spider - Man ’s spider - sense guiding him past Mysterio ’s tricks . Mysterio tried one last stunt , using a holographical image to cover a verbatim plan of attack on Spider - Man , but the webhead dodged the smoke . It ricocheted and killed Mysterio .

That does n’t necessarily mean Mysterio ’s story in the MCU is over , though . After all , the Marvel Cinematic Universe is invigorate by comics , and death is something of a revolving door in comic books . Here ’s howMysterio could return .

Mysterio’s Death Was All A Lie

The most obvious answer , which would allowJake Gyllenhaalto reprise the role , is if Mysterio ’s death was all an magic . The MCU has something of a report for fake deaths , and in Mysterio ’s case he ’s a master of deception . The hand ofSpider - Man : Far From Homeattempts to reassure viewers that this time it ’s real , with Spider - Man involve the artificial intelligence EDITH if Mysterio is really dead . EDITH assures him that this clock time there are no illusions .

The profound problem , though , is that Mysterio has a lot of experience with Stark technical school . He ’s been working with Stark Industries laggard for several years , meaning he has a secure idea what they ’re equal to of ; what ’s more , he ’s had clip to try out with EDITH ’s drone as well .   Mysterio will be intimately familiar with the advanced sensor suite EDITH has access to , and it ’s certainly not impossible that he figured out how to cozen this technical school . Thus even EDITH is n’t a authentic witness - and it ’s exclusively possible Mysterio has cook his death .

If this is the case , then it ’s potential Mysterio took this dramatic step when he gain there was no way he was going to beat Spider - Man . This was his way of ending the fight , giving himself an opportunity to retreat and rally his violence . Presumably he then decided to manipulate the public by releasing faked footage of his conflict with Spider - Man , footage that handily present Mysterio as a hero and Spider - Man as the forged guy . The video shown inthe mid - credits scenewould be just the first stair in his design , which would surely see him miraculously " resurrected , " to the delight of an adoring public .

Could Someone Else Don The Mantle Of Mysterio?

It ’s also possible that someone else could inherit the mantle of Mysterio . Indeed , there ’s comic book case in point for this estimation ; while Quentin Beck was the first Mysterio in the funnies , he ’s by no means the last . The bubble - headed tone seems to be strangely attractive to criminal types , and as a result there have been no less than three others . After Beck had give way , Daniel Berkhart was hired by J. Jonah Jameson to torment Spider - Man by claiming to be Mysterio ’s spectre . Then there ’s Francis Klum , a teleporting sport who purchased Mysterio ’s paraphernalia from the Kingpin in lodge to attack Spider - Man . Most lately , an unknown African - American purchase a Mysterio costume and cross paths with the Punisher . divertingly , there was one comedian where no less than three versions of Mysterio were active at the same fourth dimension , and they contemn each other just as much as they hate Spider - Man . The paries - crawler settled down to register a paper while the Mysterios fought it out .

Spider - Man : Far From Homemay well have already define up Mysterio ’s successor as well . The MCU ’s Mysterio was the frontman for a pretty large organisation , with all the penis share his blood feud against Tony Stark and the Avengers . Many of these man and women would understand Beck ’s applied science better than he did himself , and as a termination almost any one of them could become the next Mysterio using the same holographic technology .

The video trifle into this scenario in some quite interesting ways as well . Note that the video dedicate just as much time to take Mysterio is a hero as it does to presenting Spider - Man as a villain ; this may suggest that Quentin Beck ’s followers are n’t finish with the Mysterio identity , and want to redeem it . It ’s also perhaps   significant that the television was free byThe Daily Bugle.net , which in the MCU is an InfoWars - esque site run by none other thanJ. Jonah Jameson . The funny account book variant of J. Jonah Jameson has been intemperately involved with some of the wall - crawler ’s greatest enemy , ranging from the Scorpio to Berkhart ’s Mysterio ; he could potentially be part of Mysterio ’s gang in the MCU as well .

Mysterio’s Lies Become Real With The Arrival Of A New Mysterio

There ’s one concluding possibleness ; that Mysterio ’s lies could become real , with a new version of Mysterio arriving in the MCU from another dimension . This would be an entertaining and ironic winding , not least because it would pull up stakes Spider - Man completely wrong - footed . And again , there is really precedent from the comic strip . Brian Bendis’Spider - Menminiseries consider the Spider - Men of two reality unite against the one Mysterio , Quentin Beck , who had learn how to travel between the attribute .

This is the least potential for now , but it would plausibly be the most entertaining . It would allow Marvel to reintroduce Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio without retconning his death . Meanwhile , Mysterio ’s arrival from another world would carry huge implication for the MCU , and would launch the franchise up to explore the Multiverse . wanderer - Man : Far From plate , meanwhile , would essentially become a grand bait - and - switch over , which is   quite meet for a movie starring an visionary as the villain .
