Martin Starr revealed how excited he is to now have JK Simmons’ J. Jonah Jameson apart of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man franchise.

While the divorce between Sony and Marvel Studios has been heavily publicized, Spider-Man: Far From Home finally hit Digital HD today. Fans can now watch one of the most shocking mid-credits scenes in the MCU on loop. In it, JK Simmons returned as J. Jonah Jameson and revealed to the world that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is Spider-Man. This marked JK Simmons’ debut as the MCU version of J. Jonah Jameson, however, it may have also been his last. But, it’s expected that JK Simmons will have a larger role in Sony’s Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel with Tom Holland.

ComicBook.com caught up with Martin Starr, who was promoting the new Spider-Man: Far From Home release. Martin Starr plays Roger Harington, who is a teacher at Peter Parker’s Midtown School of Science and Technology, and has appeared in the last two Spider-Man films. Martin Starr also played the same Roger Harrington in Marvel Studios’ The Incredible Hulk back in Phase 1. When Martin Starr was asked who he would like to see introduced in the Tom Holland Spider-Man franchise, he admitted that he is just excited to have JK Simmons back as J. Jonah Jameson:

“Honestly, I’m most excited that J. Jonah Jameson is back. That little reveal at the end of it is so fun for me. I like JK Simmons so much too, as a person and I think he’s a phenomenal human being and phenomenally talented. He’s so good at that character.”

Martin Starr also talked about how nice it is to have reshoots on big-budget films:

“It’s such a luxury on movies like this where the budget allows space for reshoots. So, they intend to do reshoots and that was something that was allowed, I think by the budget, by the reshoot budget. So, that’s a fun little moment that was nicely added. In independent movies you don’t get that luxury. If you have had an afterthought and the movies done, too bad.”
