No Way Home Concept Art Shows The Scrapped Meetup Everyone Wants To See

Twitter user @SpideyNewsFR posted an image from «Spider-Man: No Way Home – The Art Of The Movie» depicting Spider-Man meeting J. Jonah Jameson at the crooked news anchor’s cluttered home studio. Spidey is still wearing his «Spider-Man: Far From Home» suit, and Jameson is only properly dressed from the waist up, indicating that this face-off could’ve occurred early in «Spider-Man: No Way Home» and that the Daily Bugle mastermind wasn’t prepared for it at all. The scene seems comedic in nature, but chances are it was planned to have a serious edge as Spider-Man gives Jameson the business for exposing his true identity.

While it’s a shame that we don’t get to see Jameson and Spidey duke it out in some form in the feature, hopefully, the opportunity will come again in a future project. After all, by the end of «No Way Home,» Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) magic makes the world forget Spider-Man’s secret identity, giving Peter Parker a clean slate. Could «Spider-Man 3» focus on his efforts to protect his identity? Perhaps he could even take a job at The Daily Bugle like his comic book counterpart to prevent Jameson from spreading false narratives about Spider-Man and learning of his secret identity.

We’ll just have to wait and see if the J. Jonah Jameson-Spider-Man confrontation depicted in this concept art comes to fruition in some form as the webhead’s next MCU outing inches closer.
