Hii is the latest new addition to the Spider-Man sequel joining Jake Gyllenhaal, JB Smooth, and Numan Acar as newcomers to the cast. While most of the new actors’ roles are currently being kept under wraps, Gyllenhaal is reported to be portraying the classic Spider-Man villain Mysterio.
Set after the events of May’s Avengers 4, the upcoming film is expected to bring Spider-Man back to down to Earth (and, presumably, back to life) as Peter Parker travels the world during his summer vacation from high school. With new villains and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury entering Peter’s world, it’s sure to be one summer vacation to remember.
