I’m crying 3000. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Far From Home almost had a lot more than just *that* cameo. The writers of the MCU Spidey sequel have revealed that two notable cameo appearances were spitballed but eventually cut: Iron Man himself Robert Downey Jr. and Donald Glover, who previously appeared as Miles Morales’ uncle, Aaron Davis, in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers told : “We had talked about possibly hearing Tony's voice through EDITH at one point, but I think a little goes a long way and we didn't want to lean too hard.” However, the pair agreed that, even if an RDJ comeback did come to pass, “It was always going to꧙ be re-used footage.”

Despite dying in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark does appear throughout Far From Home, but only via the medium of a retconned 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain America: Civil War clip whi🍨ch helped set u♉p Mysterio’s vendetta against Stark.

Glover, meanwhile, would have appeared just before Peter and his classmates left New York behind foﷺr a European vacation. Unfortunately, Glover’s pl꧂anned role (whatever that may have been) was also dropped.

As the writers explained, they only wanted Spide♔y in the Big Apple for so long before jetting off on holiday: “We definitely thought, ‘How great it would be to bring back Aaron Davis again?’ Other considerations come in. We went ⛄down that road a little bit, then the movie really spent such little time in Queens and gets to Europe pretty quickly. Some ideas you just have to give up.”

Of course, we still ended up getting a big cameo as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:JK Simmon🍌s’ return as J. Jonah Jameson, having previously played the character in the Sam Raiꦕmi trilogy. That’s not to say Glover (and maybe even RDJ) won’t be backꦦ at some point in the future – but this movie could only ever have space for JJJ and his ultra-massive ego.
