Overview
- Simmons confirmed late Thursday and in interviews Friday that he will not appear as J. Jonah Jameson in Spider‑Man: Brand New Day.
- He said his 2019 Far From Home cameo was added during editing at short notice, which forced a quick, off‑set shoot and explains the character’s altered haircut.
- Simmons revealed he has never met Tom Holland despite appearing in two of Holland’s Spider‑Man films because his scenes were filmed separately from the principal cast.
- The actor also said he was never contacted about returning as Jameson for the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider‑Man films while noting he first originated the role in Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider‑Man and later appeared in No Way Home and a Venom post‑credit scene.
- Brand New Day remains set for late July release, and Simmons’s denials narrow one major casting question while underscoring that future Jameson returns would require deliberate Sony–Marvel coordination and new announcements.
