J.K. Simmons
Come on, admit it, the only guy you really want to see portraying J. Jonah Jameson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the man who portrayed him in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy – J.K. Simmons.
Simmons was absolutely awesome in the role – arguably the most perfect comic book movie casting of all time – and absolutely nobody would complain if he was cast again. Simmons’ star has never shone brighter, as his performance in 2014’s Whiplash won him the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor and re-casting him would be a real coup.
Of course, the MCU takes place in a different universe to the Raimi Spider-Man movies and, therefore, this new Jameson would essentially be a different character, but seeing Simmons play him exactly the same as he did before would be fine by pretty much everyone.
He was hilarious and had every single one of Jameson’s comic book traits down to a T. Get it done, Marvel Studios!
