J.K. Simmons Talks SPIDER-MAN and Possibly Returning as J. Jonah Jameson
We still don't really know what in the hell is going on with Sony Pictures and Spider-Man. There have been so many rumors and pieces of speculation that have leaked, but we just don't know what the current situation is. We're all hoping that Marvel and Sony will team up to help bring Spider-Man back in a big way. A lot of fans are going to be really disappointed if that doesn't happen.
J.K. Simmons playing J. Jonah Jameson is one of the best things to happen to the film franchise. He was freakin' awesome, and it seems he might be privy to some information about what is going on. The actor was recently a guest on Sirius XM’s The Howard Stern Show. At the very end, he was asked about Spider-Man. You can can listen to that conversation here. Here's how the Spider-Man conversation went down:
Stern: "Hey, we doing another [Spider-Man] or what?"
Simmons: "I just heard that we…that’s a possibility."
Stern: "Would you do it?"
Simmons: "Absolutely."
The fact that he's actually heard something means that Sony Pictures is probably moving forward in one way or another. Of course, there's always the possibility that he's only heard what the rest of us have heard. But I'd like to think that he's got some intel on what's going on behind the scenes. I also love the fact that he would reprise his role as Jameson if the opportunity presented itself.
I hope that Sony announces something soon regarding this franchise so that we know what exactly is going on. Whatever happens, if J. Jonah Jameson is going to be included in any upcoming films, Simmons needs to play him.
