Eugene Levy

How’s this for a left field choice? Think about it though – Eugene Levy does comedy as well as anyone (does anyone in the world not find Noah Levenstein from the American Pie movies funny?) and he really does have the looks to pull J. Jonah Jameson off (just add moustache!). The only thing he’d need to do is prove he can convey Jameson’s almost unrivalled anger – and then he’s a ready-made Daily Bugle editor!

Levy’s casting in the role would undoubtedly raise eyebrows. Some people would be excited about his potential to do a great job and some people would undoubtedly be appalled – but he could definitely pull it off! He’s known for portraying unconventional characters – and that’s exactly what J. Jonah Jameson is – and his past work includes productions as varied as National Lampoon's Vacation, Like Mike, Cheaper by the Dozen 2, Astro Boy and the Canadian sitcom Package Deal.
